I picked up a set of Ohlins from Yahoo! Auctions Japan, sent them into service at ANZE Suspension (30 min drive ) and was happy to find out that they are in good mechanical shape. Cosmetically, they are a bit beat up. On one of the locking nuts it looks like they had tightened it without the proper wrench and use a hammer and screwdriver instead. The front boots were replaced and I will need to order the rear boots at some point as well. Installed all of them onto Bessie this afternoon.

 

 

With the shipping so expensive from Japan, it got my thinking whether people would be interested in an ocean freight service with cheaper shipping, but longer wait times.

 

Nice find! If ya don't mind me asking -How much?

Finally got my rear camber arms installed... Bolts were seized up and just kinda put it off. Getting the inner ones out was not fun... ended up cutting them out as well as the lower strut bolt to the trailing arm. After poking around back there a bit in the spring I think imma have to tear it all apart and do some bushings.

Anyone fit obx flares to a sedan? I threw a set on the rear and did some metal work on the wheel wells for clearance -worked well as I'm running 18x9.5 wheels... not a bad look. Considering getting the front fenders/flares and modding them for clearance as well. I like the factory look.

Anyone have the Megan rear camber arms installed? Just got mine on -which was a bear as all the bolts were seized -I have the adjustment the whole way in (negative camber) and there is minimal visible difference. I'm going to level out the car and throw a digital level on it tomorrow (longacre that is made to check camber) -just seems like they did not do much... guess I'm kinda looking for a +/- degrees to expect. The car was in a minor accident years back but no frame damage and aligned just fine to factory specs (I'm an experienced tech).

HOT!
