What is the reason we don’t use the rear mk2 coil overs?

What is the reason we don’t use the rear mk2 coil overs?

They are too long, the springs are too stiff, and the spring diameter is larger which limits wheel/tire width.

Hey follow Canadians... Where did you guys purchase your coil over sleeves and springs? Trying to find the best price plus shipping options and I don't want to get stuck paying any B/S duties and or Brokerage fees.

Hey gdh_85 I live in Chilliwack bc and I ordered my coilover sleeves and springs right from southwest speed in the states, as Mentioned in this thread.
i couldn’t find a better price and duties/taxes was only about $35

Do the front coilovers matter as to dpecs or brands,? Will they all just work?

What brand do people recommend?

[chiquito1228]

Any body else having problems with the ebay front coilovers not having enough travel.

Are they rear coilovers adjustable?

Are they rear coilovers adjustable?

Yes, the sleeves make them height adjustable

[bravekozak]

The price has incresed a lot for some strange reason. The springs now cost $50 each at Southwest. I am going to take a long shower after placing my order. I feel violated.

Does anyone know what front coilovers would be good to get this low? I got everything in this thread and completed the build of fronts and rear. Rears are spot on, drives nice etc.
The fronts however, I can’t get this low. The shocks bottom out before it gets anywhere near close enough. It’s currently on cut springs but doesn’t ride the nicest!

[bravekozak]

I received my springs from Southwest Speed but haven't replaced them yet.
Maybe tomorrow?
When I am finished, I will end up with an extra set of springs.

Hey, Ive been watching these posts for a few years now, and finally found a Festiva for my own. I was wondering if I could pick your brains for a few minutes about all the options for suspension out there now. Will over at the Festiva store is touting the Rev9 set-up (which is unavailable ATM) And there's a Godspeed set that does the same thing (separately adjustable spring and height, with multiple damping adjustments). Is there any advantage to this. Or am I good with the $200. plain Jane Mk 2 kit and KYBs? Thanks in advance,

Corey

Will and Charlie are the dudes to talk to. Usually active on facebook. I can say going from these thread that the KYBs are decent and have held up during our escapades with Rally though.

[ccreddell]

Yeah, I gathered that Will and Charlie are the ones to talk to. Ive left 4-5 messages for Will in a few different places, with no reply. And Im not sure how to get a hold of Charlie. I did leave a message on his Instagram, but havent heard back.
