Suspension Rebuild

[DeviantRebel442]

So for those that know i recently had a very nice friend of mine give me some zeal function suspension...

thats right GIVE them to me free of charge since they needed a rebuild...

now i was reluctant at first but after doing some ready research, decided to go along with the rebuild...

now rebuilding is NOT CHEAP but it is far cheaper then brand new suspension, and literally they are like brand new suspension after...

anyways i sent my zeals to endless USA in cali and they were rebuilt...and i decided i was going to show how worth it it is to send them away for an overhaul...

just look at the before and afters...

before









After








big difference...and in the end i am VERY HAPPY even though this was not as cheap as i thought it would be...also i got new springs rated for 12 and 10...

freaking stiff....i cant wait to install

Very nice stefan!! good deal for you man. But what happen to one of the lower purge????? and how come left and right are in different colour???

Nice,

I'd paint/seal the rusted leg on the rear strut (silver) if I were you.


The exterior looked beat, but looks like they replaced the parts with some newer pieces with fresh oil, shims and seals inside.

I'm running 12kg in the front and 10kg in the back on Buddy Clubs and it's not soooo bad.

nice work! I'm sure you will be very happy with them, my friend has Zeals on his car and it performs very well.

what he said. im sure it will save you problems down the road, of course. good to git'r duun now while they're off the car.

10/12 is not bad at all. actually quite on the soft side for "JDM" coilovers.


also, why are they different colors? just easier to get the replacement parts if you didn't care about the color difference?

[falcon]

ah I see. two of the old housings were reusable.

but it looks like they replaced the bushing? that's good.

[derk]

LOL...

are these the ones you paid $1700usd to get rebuilt?

you do realize you pretty much just replaced most if not all of the original bits except for the swift springs right?

$1700usd can get you a brand new set of zeal function X, or function T's haha..

[tamiya_s2000]

o.0 wow 1.7k USD?! for rebuild... bawlla

[falcon]

no it wasnt that much guys.

just cause someone says it dosen't mean they know.



and good luck trying to find some function X for under 2k USD. I've tried, they don't exist.

[DeviantRebel442]

haha no there not 1700...

i luckily talked to some poeple and got free housing replacements...so they were not ridiculous...

they ended up costing 1200 CAD at my door step...

[derk]

Bet u a set of function x's that I can get a set brand new for 2k usd

You fail, Try harder.

[BlackAura]

Uhoh.....I'm sorry, but......that really sounds like the guy that can get me a nice GTR for $4k.......

Mind you, if you really can get them, I may be interested...

[DeviantRebel442]
