I have some good used Bilstein coil overs-I changed the inserts after the pic was taken, ;) The springs are 12 inchs long, 2.5 diameter and 300 lbs stiff. These are stiff. The strut uses a common insert that is used by Volkswagen so getting parts is not a problem and I called Bilstein, they can easily revalve or do custom work on the inserts. They bolt right up and lower a van 2.5 inches. They come with spare inserts but those need rebuilding. $350 plus shipping, can funds.

Will Martin has found the matching 375 lb rear springs, contact him for those.

They don't need to be rebuilt, he put new cartridges in them. They'll fit your Daytona. I have the rears to match if you need them. ;)

As Will said, there already done. I would guess they lower a car 1-1.5 inches or more depending on what spring you use.

Ok, firebaron90 sent me to this thread. I'm very interested in these coilovers, on all 4 corners.

Can you guys help me design a set to replace the "Mopar Perf. Road Race" springs and shocks/struts I have now?

Also, can a larger diameter tire clear past the assembly?
I like the idea of bigger wheels, to clear bigger brakes, but the tire can't increase circumf. because it would hit the spring seat of the struts.

Well, theres only 2, so thats a problem. I am running 16 inch wheels, P225/55r16 and they just hit, a spacer would take care of it or use a shorter spring, this moves the collar up. Will had them on his car and they cleared whatever tires he was using, I believe 17's.

Hey Will,

Just wondering how these compare to the eibach/koni setup ride quality and handling wise with the konis set to full firm.

I can't compare them to my RT with adj Konis and Eibachs. I had them on one of my old '89 CSXs', but I never got a chance to drive with them. The guy I bought them from (in '01 I think) had them on a Shadow. I know that they're really stiff, but can't say from experience.
