Default 1980-84 323/glc coilovers build

These are a set of coilovers I've started building for my 84 glc, couldn't find anything so I got creative and built my own

Test fit on front spindle.

Rear coilovers

We all know how long the rear struts are so I had to add some length to this existing sleeve on the coilovers.

And these are them assembled minus top plates which are at the machine shop.

This set of coilovers started out as a set of maxpeedingrods coilovers for a s13, this model has the 24 way dampening (if it works, no clue)

Long pair are the rear coilovers, complete with lengthened sleeves and mounting point for trailing arm.


Custom made rear top plates for the glc.


Front top plates machined with slots for camber adjustment.


Better view of the rear setup.

I'll be using the springs provided with the kit, I know the springs are way too stiff for the weight of the car but they work as place holders until I can calculate the proper spring rate needed. I'll be using swift springs when It comes time.
