does anyone have these or know much about them.

with my new front bumper that im putting on, its pretty damn low, and depending on the easyness of adjusting these i might get them to be on the safe side.

my plan, if possible, is to fit them to the front, so i can then adjust then for normal driving, pimping, and geting up my driveway

so how easy are they to adjust, and what do u need to do it?

any ideas, or tips would be great. also how much are they for 2?

cheers

Koni adjustables only let you adjust the ride 'quality' not the height.

You need coil overs. koni don't make em specifically for a magna ... but I am sure they can be made to fit.

and then they are only internally adjustable ie take wheel, etc off to adj.
what you want trav, is airbag suspension....... ride height control at the flick of a switch.... they're only 4K from NZ.

Yeah - you won't get in cab ride height adjustables cheap!!

the best bet is airbags.

nah hydroclics for the pimp look

water is better then air :cool:

Hydraulics use oil :P

Also not street legal :-(

either go for airbags
or tein Coilovers with In cabin control
get ready to spend at least 5gs :) for each setup

just pay somone to lift up your car when you get home lol jk ,

hey trav, r u back in perth yet? sam has been telling me about "darkness" for a while but i havn't seen it yet ! should be awsome when its finished, keep up the good work


later :cool:

Koni makes sports adjustable for TE-TH magna, just nothing in Aust for the rear at the moment I think that's why Whiteline use Boge or KYB for their kits.

Anyway for $1550 ($2255rrp) you can get coilovers, but not in car adjustable. I might post some pics on here soon. We are looking for someone in Adelaide to test final fitment. We aim to make it so it's can be dumped to sit on bump stops. lol Great for shows. then raise it back up to drive out. :cool:

mate i actually have yellow koni's adj. at the rear of my sola|2a!

and for ppl who don't know... what whiteline does is actually modify ur existing struts at the front to fit koni inserts into them.

Adjusting rebound rate at the front can be done by lifting the bonnet and turning the 'screw' at the top of the strut... but to adj the rear u will actually need to take out the rear shocks.

r ur coilovers konis??

in that case Whiteline must have some stock in their warehouse. lucky you. :) For the rest of us, after 2 months Koni shipment just arrived this week at the port, so should be on the shelf in 10 days. :)

$1550 for front and rear or just front?

That'd have to be all round unless they're Tein. I bought a set of Fulcrum coilovers 2nd hand for my Lancer, with 5000kms use off a mate for $1400 fitted.. he payed about $1800 new.

Even with coilovers, changing the the ride heigh isn't practical to do on any sort of regular basis.. it requires removal of the wheel, useing C-spanners to move the 2 spring support nuts on the actual shock, puttin it back together, & getting a wheel alignment!
Even with super-expensive models like the Teins, in-car adjustment is still limited to bump/rebound settings.. not height.. you'll need bags for that!

r ur coilovers konis??

the only coilovers available for magnas are the Hot Bitsas far asi know.

Solal what are the konis like for ride and handling, and what springs have u gone with, and how lower?
ive ordered a set of konis through RPW, still not sure whether to get springs or not.

mate LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE the way the car handles! planted and little body roll... when they installed my kit they set it slightly over 50% (in terms of rebound) ... felt hard at first given new springs and i managed to hit several pot holes :rant: ... i then softened up the front at home to around 45%. i think it is time to tighten it up a little.

it's been a little over a month and the ride has soften up a little and is more compliant. the bits of the kit actually work together very well and i definitely give whiteline the thumbs up since i am sure a lot of testing's been done to ensure this. but i have to bring it back in soon because i am hearing some sort of "croaking" sound from the suspension... think the CV joints need loosening up a bit... can't do it till i get my new insurance policy though

springs are by whiteline and the front's been lowered 25mm and the rear 30mm.

which koni's have u ordered mate? yellow's or red's? r the fronts inserts?

how much the koni's set u back?


so can anyone help a clearance problem with my new bar, apart from lower the rear heaps and heaps

Trav

Im getting yellow koni adjustables. thinking about camber/castor kit but not sure if needed, seems no-one else has any tyre wear/alignment problems after lowering. Im still not sure which springs to get. I want to lower it about 30-40mm but want the springs that give best comfort, probly lovells i think. should be happening soon woohoo!

Whether or not you'll need caster/camber kits depends on how much of a brain surgeon the person who installs the inserts is. You'd have to be pretty damn talented to get it exact with no variation along the whole length of the assembly.

Well I have a set of Adjustable Coilovers that Im willing to sell...
they are from my 4cyl TE origionally then went into my TH Sports... and then back into the 4 cyl...
I have a set of springs for both a V6 and a 4cyl...
I also have a set of rears that are not coil overs but have been lowered on superlows and then reset and adjusted for that height...
I would recommend a reconditioning of the shocks (arounf $80 a corner) less if no fitting required...
If some one in Brisbane wants them Im willing to do a swap for stock shocks plus a change over fee...
I dont really need the rears.. .but I have no spare stock fronts :(

The fronts cost me $1000 so offers over $400 would be expected!!!!!

Haydn

what coilovers are they?

all four did u say?

Trav

the coilovers are stock shocks re gassed and worked. they have had new valves etc put in them.. and they were also shortened and new bump stops 18mths ago..
ONLY the fronts are coilovers.. the rears are fixed but lower than super low.
Haydn

any picks of the front shocks?

stock coilovers?!

from the diamante?

Trav

yes that price was for front and rear. anyway here you go guys some pic of them.
