Alright, i have an 88 mirage cyborg sedan, currently running kingsrping lows and KYB shocks. Now i've been talking with craig(snowdevl) and apparently some of you guys are running GCcoilovers from the 1g dsms and somehow fitting them to our cars?

Just curious, i have been told the the gc coilovers are just a sleeve kit that fits over our shocks and then has to be welded in place? (correct me if im wrong)

I just need to get this straight, i really want coilovers as im sick of the wheelbarrow look of my car..

Can someone please explain how it is done and whether it is a worthwhile mod?

Thanks

Chris.

The GCs don't have to be welded in at all. Here is a vfaq on installing them on a 1g awd, it would be pretty much the same as our cars.

Here is another thread worth reading about the coilovers:

My cyborg isnt IRS, and from what i can see in the first link the car having the coilovers installed is an IRS setup?

so. shocks are shocks regardless of type of axle you have in the back of your car, installation is exactly the same.
