as above, are SWB coilovers and LWB coilovers different?

 

many thanks

Rgr,

 

cheers

some companies have made different spring rates for the SWB and LWB but not major amounts

Yeah funnily enough I was just checking out the Mesiter R thread for some reason?

 

and they offer two different spring rates LWB 8/6 and SWB 6/4 or something like that

yep thats right ish i think its only them that i know of that do it. Met the guy at Japfest :)

The group buy thread for them is closed now I believe

i think he will still honour that price though or the group buy may still be running on the other site

I'll have a dig about

one set is longer than the other :lol:

 

(sorry, had to be said) makes sense they are the same, but, and I'm only asking as I'm curious, is the rear sub-frame very different too? Makes sense with the fuel tank etc. I've just never been under a SWB...

sub frames are identical mate

Come to think of it, the only SWB that I have driven was down at Ztech a few years ago, and that particular example was a real let down (turned out the tubs were seized)

 

The only reason I stuck with the LWB was because it had two seats in the back

 

Obviously that feature is pretty redundant when you've got a wife, three kids and a dog to fit in (not to mention the roll cage).

 

So the zed has never really been used as a family wagon

 

I just figured that if I could get hold of a relatively cheap SWB as a daily driver then this summer I'll at least be able to get out and about to a few meets and might just throw a few of the bits that I've got for my other build, on it just for kicks

 

Still gunning for my GTR though, very close now :wink:
