PSR Coilover Conversion
Well boys, it's done. I ordered a D22 Coilover Conversion from Australia. I ordered from DrivenOffroad and the parts showed up in like 6 days. Pretty good service from Aiden at DrivenOffroad.
The kit was great. Came with like 15 pages of instructions and every little thing that was required for install.
It was a bit of slog, but the most difficult part was probably the dreaded lower control arm rear bushing (yes, mine was as bad as everyone else's).
Total parts list:
I'll just dump some photos of the process.
A beautiful sight ^^ after the classic lower control arm fire fight. My bolts were seized, etc.
Cut off the factory shock tabs and welded in these reinforcements.
Old bump stops were toast, so I ordered new ones.
New bucket fully welded in. Used paint stripper and wire wheel to get the paint off before welding.
REBOOT on the CV axle - The old boots were the original boots from 24 years ago. 1 was ripped so I did them all.
Took it out for a spin and after a few miles of basic maneuvers, I got enough confidence to jump some curbs and hit some washboard roads. It didn't completely fold up yet... so I guess it's on.
Cheers.
