Koni Sport inserts in godspeed coilovers. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I bought a car with godspeeds, i cant afford to switch to Feals or KWs right now. has anyone put koni sport (i think the 8641s) inserts into godspeeds before? i know people have done it with other coilovers before. im just looking to make them last untill i can replace them. that said, if it can be done well, and work, i may keep them.

i also know about richards, koni housings. thats an option but i think im gonna have a machinist make me threaded housings to use the godspeed lower mounts if i go that route to keep them adjustable.

as for just getting replacement godspeeds. ill die before that. pure garbage.

Thanks

Oh, im also open to opinions/ideas.

The koni is probably too long to fit in the godspeed, would be my guess.

thats what i was thinking also, but i cant find the dimensions online. my googlefu sucks. i found the race insert dimensions, but not the sports.

Well the Race shocks are too long for most coilover housings, too, and I think they're shorter than the sports.
