But they don't make them for our cars? I'm guessing you would just keep your camber plates and swap them on? I'll be in the market for coils soon and all I've found in a full body coilover is K-sport but I was hoping for something a little nicer.

Guys at Galant VR4.org are looking into a group deal effort with Feal.

Might be room to find out about shock body availability there too. Get our nose in early, so to speak.
If no one asks, then no one gets .... kinda mentality.

I saw that post last week, but I figured it was a wash for our chassis. It appears FEAL is very focused on tuning their shocks appropriately for the application and with our small market it probably isn't worth it for them to do for the c53a. For the Galant I think they just said they were taking the data from a 1g and carrying it over then changing the camber plates/strut mounts.

I did send an email to the US Distributor/Servicer for HotBits today for some info though. It is a considerable step up in price over K-Sports, but from what I have read it is worth it.

Larry Parker still the contact?

Yes, Hotbits will show an application IIRC, but it shows up on the Phillipine/Asian website areas.

Hotbits will get you what you need, but yes. Drop 2K+ and prepare for the rebuild. Until then ... we won't get much out of the suspension on our cars., to rival what newer higher end cars are getting.

I have a set I might be willing to part with :D The car is going to my Dad soon so I've been wanting to put it back to KYB GR2's with lowering springs before I send it to him. Message me so we can work out a price.

What are the spring rates? Obviously the fronts should fit great. How similar to oem struts are the rears?

I'd have to look up the spring rates
But the mounts in the rear are the same as a stock CSM

Well if anyone else has a set of coilovers, I guess text or PM me instead of posting on here. Just missed the second set :axe:
Thanks, Chris (440-476-8635)
