Coilover conversion on a budget

[PukkaSilvia]

The best part of doing this conversion is so that the corner weights of the car can be adjusted.

Hi guys, Latest up-date is a few pictures of the coilover adjustable top mounts I bought on Ebay, they require some minor tweeks to fit an S12 as they were intended for an S13.

The special top nut( 24mm AF hexagon bar showing 10mm above a 20mm long 18mm dia shaft with a M12 x 1.25 thread tapped with a 3mm 12.5 dia counterbore at the bottom) and lower bearing support ring(25mm dia outside x 20mm inside x 11mm high).

The coilovers assembled.

And finally the coilovers on the car.

Hans and Paul.

The KYB shocks have a different stem, so it was really easy to fit the top mount to them when I did it.

Yes I will offer a built up kit for about £400 to customer spec once I have tested mine out!
I have a set of S12 legs spare now so I will prepare them soon.

Just fitted them to the car this morning and adjusted the camber to the max.
The car looks the tits now I think!!!!




I also did a few other jobs like welded the steering boss on and bolted the new OMP steering wheel on. I also took a bit of the fan blades as they would touch the under side of the intercooler pipes under driving conditions.

I cannot wait to drive it.
