Koni / Ground Control S14

[Kallixtos]

Will be piecing together a setup pretty soon, just looking to see if anyone has some good used sleeves or camber plates. THM seems to have the better prices on Koni items, may end up buying them there.

Thanks!

I've contemplated selling my entire setup, so depending on how much you're looking to spend...

Rear: Koni yellow w/ ground control, 350lb, tein pillowball
Front: 3000gt Bilstein w/ ground control sleeves, H&R springs 450lb, stance helper springs, ground control camber/caster plates

I may be interested depending on what you're looking to get.

Haven't looked much into Billsteins though. Why helper/tender springs up front?

Pm me some photos or post them up here

Combination of spring and collar (ride) height, and keeping the springs in place while unloaded.

I'll snap some new pics as soon as I get a chance.

The whole setup cost around $2100--if you're piecing together a set you're probably aware of this already. Feel free to make a fair offer...

Yea that might be a little out of my price range. I think I'm just gonna stick with an 8610/yellow setup. Hopefully I hear back from veilside180sx from NRR soon. I need those front housings.

No problem. If you price out your setup and still want to make an offer feel free.

Nobody has heard from Richard in a long time. So good luck getting those housings. A proper Koni set up will run you near the same range as a Bilstein/Koni set up.

If you're interested, I have a pair of Bilstein inserts that are brand new/never driven on. They've only been mounted into S14 housings which I could include for free. If you're willing to drive to the San Fernando Valley, you can come pick up for $230. New inserts cost $280+ depending where you get it. Or I could ship them at your dime and it'll get there within a day or two since you are in California.

Not my picture but for my street car, my Bilstein is set up like this: Extended bottom, GC sleeves, Fortune Auto radial bearing, and GC top hats. This is just to give you an idea of what you can do as opposed to a Koni set up which is a little more expensive to put together. Also worth noting that my street car is on 5 kg springs and was planning or the other pair (the one I'd like to sell to you) to go as high as 8kg, not sure of the range but I've read guys going as high as 10 kg without a revalve.

Yea I hear ya. I've been looking on the different threads and it doesn't look like he's been responding to anyone. Sent him a PM but I'm sure I'll get the same results. People have lives and I totally understand.

Like I mentioned earlier, I haven't done much research on the Bilsteins to actually start building a set. Although seeing that its gonna be a little hard to get those front housings ATM, I may start digging around Google.

The housings I have are from Richard, but IIRC the 3000gt Bilsteins are a touch wider OD than the Koni.

Unless Richard has some in stock, I don't think you'll get some as quickly as you might like.
