To all coil over guys.

[rhipsher]

I've been browsing all kinds of sites that sell coil over kits for our cars and the kits range from single adjustable for $1,699 to double adjustable for $2,299 Which is not a cheap upgrade by any means. Not that I expected it to be cheap. Where do the guys that have coil overs already on their Z's get their kit. What are my options? Lowest price to most expensive?:icon_scra I'd still like to be able to use my Bilstiens. Or is it better to go with the shocks that come with the kit?

having coil overs that use the bilstiens so i can still use the fx3 in the car to me is the way to go. i went with the rippie set up and sent my scocks out to bilstien to have them rebuilt and set up for the spring perches

I put my own together, if you use existing shocks I am at $500 in parts. this also does not include Carter's mounting pieces that he worked out with Demps

The shocks need to be grooved for the rings that position the shock inside the coil.

Like sammy, I used the Doug Rippie coil over kit without shocks & sent my shocks to Bilstien for inspection, re-valving (morrocan) and grooving. Re-valving is an option, grooving is required.

Your should be able to do the job for less than your quotes.

I just checked out doug rippies kit. DRM24-510 FX3. yeah! Now I can deal with $945. My bilsteins and actuators are in a box. I need to send them to bilstein to be rebuilt/morraca valving for $100 a shock. So I'm looking at $1500 for everything. Once I find out what I need for spacing the front sway bar off the frame and mounts for the rear machining my own is not a problem. Just need to know.

Im running the DRM kit with the FX-3 Bilsteins system retained. Best of both worlds. I was lucky to get kit from Bob on the board here and the ZF-Doc did the rest to include the shock groving.

I make these items at CT Machining. When you are ready contact me :cheers: Read Demp's write up on what is needed besides my brackets.


Blackhk, your items ship out on Tuesday ;-)
