TRD shocks and springs

[SekiguchiUeno]

Jondee: well i dont know either about the top adjustable konis, we can get them in europe for almost the same money at the agx and i newer riden some car equipped with them(agx). They said they are gas shock in some older catalogue that means to me monotube. I think they are equal to agx.
Nothing can beat bilsteins(thats the old rule comparing to konis they are some class better, i was amazed as i first mount them on the car, how comfortable they are, not sure was is meant by disgresive but thats probably the same as degresive curve, they act very stable in corners at slow rod speeds but absorb bumps prety good. even the stock version with smaller piston in the front. The front is upside down and the lower casing has some bushing pressed in while the piston rod is mounted on the bottom of the downtube. Even the stock B6 can probably work good with 3kg spring. Problem can be your 40mm lovering and cuted strut housing. I fix noncaptive springs with olds man engineering methods like belts on the rear axle and wires on the front struts. But i dream to let me build some matched and shortened set in the future from them.

600 for revalved shortened and matched set is pretty good, stok ones costs around 500euro here in eu. Revalving shortening adds about 45-50euros to one damper done directly by bilstein. It is basically rebuild so its better to sent them some used old ones.

Nohachi> as i wrote in other topic i have the idea of 200sx fronts linger in my head with complete swap, i am not sure what exactly want you grind down by 1mm on the shock? The outher shell is basicaly some thin tube with some bushing pressed in and in the 200sx version there is the spindle connection welded on. 36mm is the diameter of the upper part of the front shock? As i will be in the garage i can measure the upper part of the ae86 B6. Have you some other measurements of the nissan front shock? As the shell body, rod travel, stock springrates etc..?

About the external canister i have some integrated on my rear bike shock it is compressed via schrader valve with special air pump, it would be nice touch to have on car shocks, so you could change oil from time to time on them.
