MD Coilovers

[JN7]

Hey guys,
I'm about to purchase a set of 2nd hand "MD Coilovers" from siknis.

I'm just wondering if you guys have any feedback on this brand of coilovers.

Any information would be great thanks.

prolly custom coilovers :)

[JN7]

what's that?

[JN7]

the brand is Monster Damper (MP)

[CB7_OWNER]

How much you getting them for?? If its price is anywhere close to a new set of an alternative brand, then i'd get the alternative brand if you know what i mean.

[JN7]

900 delivered man.

they're heaps cheap for coilovers.. i'd definitely get them if i was on a budget.. there are pedders coilovers for sale for 1300.. i'm sure you might be able to negotiate.. (not to mention, he will install it for you)

[JN7]

my friend got his coilovers installed for 100 so yeah not too bad.
im paying siknis today so yeah..
btw whos selling the pedders?

damper is to adjust how much the shock absorb when u goes on difference condition of road, eg. bump crumpy road etc.

spring rate is the rate that shown how much ur spring bounce when u travelling, mostly spring rate r prefix by the coilover manufacturer

so JN7... what bodykit did u end up getting ?

i chose the 'custom Mugen' front bar. mugen sides and rear lip (still to be ordered but that will be easy as my panel beater deals with jetspeed melbourne all the time).
trial fitted the grill into the slot of the front bumper, a bit of custom work is needed there but should be all good and i was told it'll be back on the roads in 7 to 10 working days (so before june ends). fingers crossed
and then when i get it back, slap in the coilovers.
still got to order an ingalls camber kit though.
