Title: 131 coil over Post by: 131 Lover on September 01, 2014, 07:05:29 AM Hi!
I just wanted to show my newly made semi coil overs, i took some new struts i had for a diesel and bought a set of springs with screws for Honda Civic! I kept the springplates incase i want it change it back! Still need to road test them, but i just wanted to have adjustable height and a bit harder suspension in the front!

I think you have to weigh the car to Commender the good springs?

You're right but at the moment with two small children and no extra time I am happy to get anything together.... I just checked that the Civic had almost the same weight as the 131, that's good enough for me, its only going as a road car.

Do you mean it's to stiff? I made a distance aluminum piece in the bottom of the strut to get the spring higher , I also have a plastic piece in the top who will steer and keep the spring in place.

(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g249/TfP-Motors/Fiiatit/131/IMG_0392-1.jpg) Of course it would be stiffer if there is only one spring. but the reason for the two spring is that I get the car street legal "MOT" here rules say spring not be left loose when you pick the car up. height is now this, and is possible put few cm:s lower until sping is loose... and stifness is suitable for me.
