Thread: AGK coilovers, zzp control arms

buy a set of BC coilovers for $900 from a car that has a similar suspension, move/modify lower mount as necessary to bolt up to the knuckle, then modify the upper mount to either accept the stock GP mount (rubber mounts bad, no no) or make it so the studs are in the correct spot (hint: make a new top half of the pillow ball mount).

Obviously this wouldnt be for the vendor coillvers but the DIY guy i would have thought by now something better than agx would have been used.

W-body's are dead, no one will develop new struts/suspension for this car now.

but "no one has found" a strut that'd work.

i would personally just buy a set of coilovers that were for another car, then modify the mounting points so they worked.

I did.

Koni said they would make custom inserts for my fronts that shortened the overall length 3"...it was around $400-$500

Been down this road.

The Nissan Maxima is very close fit up front. From my early measurements anyways. There are a ton of MacPherson strut setup cars out there. The multilink rear is a bit different, but you can buy just the front coilovers from companies if you give them a call.

Doesn't mean anything. The 3000GT/Stealth has been dead since 99 (96 for the Stealth) and there have been several new suspension bits to come out for it, even within the last few years.

Stealth also had the GTO name in Japan which figures into the huge after market support it had
