Exhaust and Coilovers!

[Hyper_Mike]

Hey guys,

I have been reading through alot of posts and notice most people are running coilovers in the front and springs/shocks in the rear, alongside both front and rear strut braces. My question is are the coilovers RVR N23W specific or are they made for something else and adapted to the RVR? If they are specific it would be awesome to have a list of suppliers/manufacturers and the links for the specific RVR coilovers. Also with the exhaust, are they direct fit bolt on options for the exhausts or are they mostly custom jobs? Again any links/suppliers would be great!
Anyone who has done these upgrade your input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Mike

The fronts evo 7-8 is apparantley a direct swap( i have not tried though) the rears are only a RVR part I went with the KYB struts front and back and had some stronger springs made by Allsprings in sydney with little problems, used my own tops, car handles well I think what i have done is a good cheeper option than coilovers It is still a decent ride not too bumpy but I still need to install a better sway bar i think.

Fronts need slight modding, rears need the bottom cut off and the eyelet welded on. Also need some spacers made for the front camber bolts, and the holes need to be elongated.

Oh ok, thanks guys, seems like maybe ill just go with RSR or King Springs and KYB shocks.

Hey guys, just a quick question, will a 3" exhaust fit where the stock system runs?

I have found this topic but unsure if it runs on the same path as the stock?

I would love to upgrade my rear sway bar! But haven't been able to find one

Go to Allsprings in Sydney they make custom springs and sway bars take yours in they will be able to make a bigger copy of the original talk to Aldo there I got told around $400 i think (I will be going back and getting mine done soon i hope......)

Sidney will be a bit of a drive for me .

Robsport in LA would do a custom sway bar, but they are across the country for me and they are insisting on having the car there .

Let us know how your project goes!
