Well, time to raise some funds for christmas pressies, so my suspension setup is up for sale.
Originally concocted as part of a $2,500 kit by Fulcrum Suspensions here in Queensland with some Whiteline parts thrown in, I have for sale 4 yellow koni shocks (yellow - adjustable internally) and a set of king springs.
I originally thought they were formula springs but the label says King springs.
These are for an AE86 and so will fit with no mods required.
All I can tell you is that the ride height is about 330 at front and 320 at rear, whatever that means - I ain't no suspension expert.
Also, the reason why I'm selling is because I have gone for firmer springs - these shocks & springs are better than stock and will suit anyone wanting to do a cheap suspension upgrade than buy new parts.
I can't tell you how firm the springs are but can supply the part numbers if required.
They are not 12kg drift springs but are soft subscribing to the 'softer but more grip' school of theory - I have to add the car does not roll much compared to the factory springs I had in my car originally. By soft, I am guessing 3kg? although I could be wrong. Fulcrum Suspension recommended the package saying it was a setup you could drive comfortably on the roads but still take it to a track and perform reasonably well.
The kit is not old, having been bought about 1.5 years ago and having only travelled less than 10,000 km's in that time.
To get an idea of how low the car rides, just have a look at all the pics in the members section of my car - link here:

Probably looking for $500 Ono for the setup - postage can be organised within Australia at the buyer's expense however should be no more than about $40 through Aussie Post.
I'm in Brisbane so you're more than welcome to arrange a meeting to see them in person if you're in the Sunshine State.
No pics of the front shocks & springs at the moment - they are being removed from the front struts but will be available early next week.
Just send me a PM if you're interested.
Cheers all ...
