    Rebuilt coilovers

    Hi

    I eventually got my LEDA coilovers rebuilt by GAZ, but from what I can see the only orginal bit is the bottom of the front strut housing.

    Rebound & Bump Control
    61mm front housing
    nickel coating
    alloy components are anodised
    Spring Rates and valving specific for the track (400 front 225 rear)

    Jason I those look SO sweet.

    What spring rates are you running. I am building coilovers for my 323i with the bodies that you sold me - i forgot who made them and the history behind them?

    I dont really want to mount them upside down do I?

    Anyway did you every get the camber plates from Top End sorted out. I want to see them pics of them installed, on you car with the coil overs. How do you like them...I was thinking about having them make me an anodized set....

    Did you try standing them upright and pumping the rod a few times?

    Yeah, I'm going to put them back in. I don't use the upper part of the travel. I just know that they will need to be pulled and refilled. I emailed LEDA to see if I can get a new seal kit so I can do it myself. No reply.
