OT: Coilover set up

[Chamoix]

Check out this single adjustable coilover set up on the scooter I parked next to today. Looks to be a progressive spring too. I think it was Italian made but didn't look that closely. Think it might fit an 02?

I doubt it could handle the weight.

Why not just use one that GC sells.

Pretty sure that's not single adjustable, it just has 5 preset positions for height. Normally when a coilover is described as adjustable it means the damping or rebound is adjustable.

Aside from that anything on a scooter would be very undersized for a car, short of MAYBE an isetta or original mini.

Ireland is probably the best option for a rear coilover like that actually meant to go on a car. They use Pro-Shocks, which you can buy separately. However unless you know how to design a suspension it would probably be best to go through them so you get the right springs, compression and damping.

Tink,

Just joking. Really enjoying your build thread. I agree with the comment that you are the Larrry Flint of 02dom!!

Haha, darn it. I gotta admit you had me there. Coming from an e46 forum you'd be amazed at some of the questions people ask....

And thanks, tomorrow will be a good day for the build. Expecting something pretty exciting in the mail.

the positions are for preload, not height.

...I may or may not have 3.5 motorcycles sitting in my basement and one outside....
