Thread: Bilstein Coilovers

Marine guy must be drunk again...

Lol I just looked again and can't for the life of me find where I said, or anyone, $400 for them? Lol Dirt are you drunk? Lol go home

I don't think he bothered to email them like I said and just looked at the hardware price obviously that includes more then just brackets and endlinks

Well email it is. My b

Haha I was about to say.. i dont n ow where you came up with that number.. ya just email them it really wasn't more then like 75 shipped iirc

Yea I was drunk last night. And day drinking today I emailed them. This time

figured id show off the bearings i was telling you about

I went with the size 14 ones which should fit like a glove in the mounts I just burned out...I wish I had more tos to work with so I could make camber caster plates with the bearing...but until then I'll have the bearing mounted in the hole.and the suspension will pivot on that. Should work out better than what the majority of wbody coilover conversions do

jesus christ, are you building a rally car?

Sorta....

Mmmm looks good Turbo....you should really do camber plates if your going that far ya know

you mean i should get rid of my caster adjustments and just go with camber only? but why? thats not cool...

im making CC plates/strut mounts strong enough for a trophy truck (if anyone were stupid enough to run mcpherson on a trophy truck), but made for a dainty twin engine woman.

FK bearings and chromoly bearing cups in 1/4" 304ss plate (8- 3/8" fine thread bolts) which mount into 1" T6 6061 swash plates, which bolt to the chromoly chassis plates.

nearly 2 inches of adjustment in any direction...and they are built around the W unibody strut towers

yeah...wayyyy ahead of ya buddy lol

You plan on selling these?

nah, no one would buy em...a pair would cost you about 500+ dollars lol

You should lol. Some of us don't have the tools and knowledge do fabricate our own

none of you have cars that need these.

these are built for a 6.5s chassis car that could see 200mph in the 1/4 eventually. we dont want any issues when trying to recover a squirrely run... the weakest part is the bearing itself and its rated to 56klbs.

but im gonna guess we'd fold a strut before that bearing becomes a problem.
