Ta tecnix coilovers, Spax krypton gas front suspension - j_carter - 04-05-2014
Brought some ta technix coilovers for some cheap lows for fcs but when fitting them realised the top mounts were buggered, standard top mounts DO NOT fit. my plan was eventually to get some good ones for track use but as the mounts were no good on these one im not going to bother messing about getting top mounts im just going to buy some for track use.
They were pretty rusted up when i got them so i dremmled the rust off to check the condition of the springs and the springs are ok, was just surface rust. i then anti rust primered and just give them a lick of paint and some laquer.
No leaks etc and seem to be in reasonable condition.
As stated, these require top mounts.

Secondly some front Spax krypton gas dampers, springs and top mounts
dust covers have split (see pics), topmounts are in reasonable condition and are not ceased, seem to move freely. All worked fine when on the car, no leaks. knocks, bangs etc.
Think they are standard ride height springs? see attached pic of them fitted on the car.

p.s they deffinetly are not leaking even tho it may look like it in one of the pictures, its wd40 as i give them abit of a spruce up.

The reason your topmount wont fit those coilovers is because the top spring plate is missing, it sittings on the top spring and your top mount sits down into it.

Yep, the ones that come with them are cracked so im not using them and not selling them on as they are dangerous. Standard ones dont have the cup that sit on the outside of the spring.

Ah ok, just thought you mightnot have known, incase you wanted to keep them and get the cups.

Hmm, I'd love the shocks and springs, but you're a bit of a trek and I'm in the middle of exams
Also, you didn't post a pic of them fitted...?

No problem and i appreciate your input. top man. as i said these were just temporary for cheap lows but decided i might aswell just fit some once and get some ones decent for track use.
My Bad, forgot a pic of the car. Apologies.

Any idea how much it'd cost to post the shocks & springs?
RE: Ta tecnix coilovers, Spax krypton gas front suspension - j_carter - 04-05-2014
I have no idea but if they dont sell i can drop you a p.m? difficult for me to post for a couple of weeks as im working away.
