NICE! How much did those run you?

pettersen · Post by **pettersen** » Sun May 31, 2009 4:55 am

just 1500 USD

, still remember that Norway is one of the most expensive countrys to live in so it's not realy all that much, to put it in context a neon in descent condition cost aboout 4500 USD.

Oh wow. I was gonna say if they were cheaper than $900, I'd try to get a set, but nevermind.

The FK Silverline coilover generation is a complete new dimension regarding quality, longevity and look. All housings, brackets and even the wrenches, which are included to each kit, are made of highly hand polished stainless steel.

The struts are time consuming polished by hand, which enhances the longevity and build quality. Stainless steel is much more resistant against corrosion as the also very high quality protected zink coated steel housings. The high quality look is just a side effect. All alloy parts, e.g. spring caps and locking nuts, are manufactured in the well known FK quality and are made of high density aircraft alloy, which leaves no space for compromises.

FK Silverline stainless steel coilovers are a direct improvement of the well-known and top-selling FK Highsport and FK KÖNIGSPORT coilover systems. Please see more details at the appropriate pages on the FK Automotive web site.
FK-Automotive has a worldwide reputaton for producing the highest quality producst for German Autos, their coilover suspension kits are no exception to this commonly held belief. FK uses only the highest quality TUV approved parts

Urethane inserts in all three motor mounts, got the solid bubblestrut already, i realy love the feel of it, but im glad i got a big stereo to cover the sound

My dad snapped some photos of me and my very helpful friend

Changed some bushings, the plan was to do the entire rear but some rust put a temporary stop to that:(, will do the rest later when i figure out a way to get those bolts out of their rusty homes.
But anyway some pictures of the bushings i managed to change:)
First just to show the difference between the old and new

Got a complete set of energy bushings

Work progress:

Todays little update:

Cut out the rest of the moulding on the R34 bumper.

Then i taped it up and reinforced with cardbord, to have something solid to fibreglass against, and then i put on two layers of fibreglass.

Also got put first layer of plastic filler on the front bumper, just need one more layer and then i'm ready for sanding and sanding and sanding and more filler and more sanding...

mounted the other coilover today

tried with 30mm above min first, but turned out a bit to low, so i adjustet to 42mm and hope that it will be good once the springs settle in.
