Casey_L Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 What do you mean? When I hit a bump I get a bit of resonance with the interior pieces, but that is expected with a 20 year old car. I can drive 70 mph on the highway and have a comfortable conversation with my girlfriend as long as the silencer is in the megan racing muffler. (That sounds really good btw) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey_L Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 It took a lot of work. Its a new england car so everything was rusted. All parts were sandblasted, primered, and painted satin black. Both wheel bearings were also replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly the engine is running great! (thanks to your parts of course ) Can't have slick suspension without a running engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the strut housings are bought from a manufacturer that also builds shocks for other company's. The strut housing is then fabricated in house at MK1's shop. I don't think these kinds of parts are availabe from some sort of catalog. I thought he was going to sell them for retail on ebay like he has done on some of his previous GP's.

Its been some time since the last BP, is it that hard to get parts to build this setup if the strut is from china. this seems to be a copy of the coilover system a nissan club in AZ is using.
