Great Product, I will purchase a set as soon as some Z32 uprights present themselves. Keep 'em in stock.

Thanks for your support in our community.

Rolling in updated parts slowly... a few of the old ones still in the pipeline, but expect these to come

New on the left, old on the right.

Zombie Thread resurrection!

If i buy these for my s14, would the s13 rear coilover be a good bet, or are those way too short, since the s14's are about 2 miles long.

fortune auto makes an adapter for the lower shock mount that fits directly on the shock housing.. no adapter plates needed. no binding either since they are significantly longer than the factory 240 mount.

Have any more info on that? My google-fu hasn't returned anything specific to it. I know you can get the lower mount for a Z32, but unless they mount it at a different angle they'll likely bind on an S14. When i consult with google, it looks like spherical bushings is the solution others have used.

If you look at the photos, the mount allows rotation in one direction during install, and the bracket re-orients the stud so the strut can rotate fore-aft as well.... there should be no issue getting the correct angle.

I'm confused as to how these are supposed to be installed.

In this picture the stopping end of the slug is in the front with the forks facing back.






In this photo (page 2) he put the stopping end towards back with the forks facing forwards




And then the photo on your website has both the stopping end and forks facing the back



I installed mine like the photo on your website, I have new coilovers arriving tomorrow but used some other coilovers just to see how it would fit and holy shit it's cramped as fuck. Is it fine to just face the forks forward? How do I get the slug aligned correctly? I've had to take my knuckles off twice to press slugs out, which is frustrating, some advice would be nice.

Because it depends on the chassis and how you have the arm lengths set...

You're supposed to do a dry mockup without the slug, just the bracket on the coilover, figure out which combo works the best, the bracket forward or back, and the slug forward or back.

In the mockup you also figure out the correct rotated orientation for the slug, but the hub has to be raised to approximate ride height (much like doing a rubber bushing install) and then using the bracket to figure it out.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense! I'll be trying it out today. You should these out with some instructions, what you just sent me can be cut down to 3 simple steps and would be great to have.
