Where can one get these MDU coilovers? What kind of prices are we talkin about?

 

Waijai can get you some. You would have to ask him

 

A lot of MDU owners have opted to switch to a true coilover setup in the rear, which for some reason makes them perform WAY better.

 

^ do you know how people are setting up their "true coilover setup" in the rear.

does this mean that they are not using the stock spring boot?

if anyone has an idea of how to do this please let me know.

 

Yeah rear spring is on the shock and the spring bucket is used for the toe settings..

 

sorry, i am a little confused. so i do not put anthing into the boot then and just set up the shock/spring setup just like the front coilovers?

 

Thanks for the review. Have you tracked the MDU's or do you plan to? If so, how is the performance and stability?

Yeah nothing goes in the spring bucket..

 

To clarify...

On the rears, you would mount the spring on the shock, thus leaving the spring bucket empty. You would not use the bucket to adjust toe (that is done with a toe bolt) BUT you can get rid of the spring bucket completely and put in a toe ARM in its place. That would allow weight reduction and easier toe adjustment.

 

yes sometimes I wish my teins were the "true coil" on the rear, for the weight savings alone. I don't know that it really makes a big difference in handling but just the cleanliness is nice.

 

Yeah I'd like to get rid of my spring buckets and get toe arms..

 

I thought about that too but this guy who owns a shop asked me why i would want to do that he said " nissan spent millions formulating the best suspension and why would u want to change that it would throw it all off."

 

That's a good point, doesn't make much sense to switch your rear suspension like that.

 

I highly doubt its the best suspension infact its probably far from it.
