Thanks for taking the time to R&D, if the MacPherson spindles were attached it would be the best ae86 kit on the market hands down.

Of course you can still prove that having the customer weld their new coils but personally I would be willing to pay the extra $$$ for spindles seeing as GreddyTRUST's are going for $1800...

Getting harder to find but you're able to get them off of any ae86 (84-87) sr5's as well. People like to put the GTS AE86 suspension in their 'ke7x' 'te7x' etc chassis well

I just find it hard to justify purchasing a set of NEW coilovers without NEW spindles attached... Cost being the issue and sourcing the individual spindle? looking into megans seeing as they're 1250 with spindles and I believe 115 per strut down the road

TRUST being the only company I know of showing off their manufactured BARE spindle



NEVER seen this available stateside, but apparently Price:¥36,750(about $440)]]>

We can get anything out of Japan. So maybe the path of least resistance in bringing these parts to market would be to offer them with the trust spindle as an option. At least that would save us time and money on some tooling.



Not to mention that it will save clearing up the issue when someone welds your final product on a crappy set of spindles and they fail due to years of fatigue. We all know how the blame game works.]]>

I just poked around on club 4ag and it seems they have something to complain about no matter what suspension they are talking about.

russ please make me understand the AE86

~The car is expensive to buy used
~the car is in bad need of restoration before you even start to improve things
~the car is so old that everything needs replaced and upgraded
~all of the aftermarket upgrades are very expensive
~After you are all done you are still held back from being competitive by the platform itself

am I being harsh here? Do I need to watch more initial D? do i love nissan to much? am I spoiled by the 240sx?
is there something magical about the car and I'm just not tuning in to it?

Dont get me wrong, a used stock 20 year old S13 is a POS and needs everything too but it seems so much easier

I just think that its hard enough to pay for tires, entry fees, repairing damage, and trying to improve your machine, so I wonder why people would make it harder on themselves than is necessary to go from point A buying a car to point B having fun with the car

I have the same opinion of rotary engines, it does not look that enjoyable to me having your life savings and good times balancing on an apex seal.

this is interesting

Pressing on....???


Not necessary I don't think? I haven't personally had to do my front wheel bearings yet. It's a quality problem, bearing plain doesn't fit.

I don't see your gripe? We could be dealing with an older chassis? te27 etc... You admitted an older s13 not being THAT different;

~The car is expensive to buy used it's 25+ yr old corolla. got my gts for $500
~the car is in bad need of restoration before you even start to improve things depends on condition it's Toyota dependable
~the car is so old that everything needs replaced and upgraded again condition of car?
~all of the aftermarket upgrades are very expensive ??? aftermarket upgrades are fairly abundant and a lot of companies make parts for other chassis as well as AE86 so prices are comparative
~After you are all done you are still held back from being competitive by the platform itself Preference/opinion? I see your point (just a Corolla) but; one of the AE86's main attractions lies in it's light weight... lighter than any s-chassis will ever be? both being as anorexic as possible of course

if you don't understand the xExx chassis maybe you need to watch more Option?

I brushed up on my hachiroku facts. During the Ae86's time from 83-87 the S13 did not exist, so it was really the birthplace of drifting. People love it because while most light weight cars were going front wheel drive, the 86's RWD and light weight were a great combination that kept it ahead of the future generations in regards to performance based economy cars. And for that it deserves some respect.

I have never personally experienced a fine tuned example as seen in the option vids. The last one I drove, you could turn the steering wheel 20 degrees left or right and it would still go straight, no power, busted inside and out.

When I see people mashing on Hachirokus at the track its always interesting how their hand movement on the wheel is so animated, and they always have to throw the car into the turns. Totally violent driving style.]]>

Our steering knuckle tuning for nissan makes the steering quicker which actually offers more control and a more relaxed drifving position because your hands are not flailing around. You can initiate a drift with a flick of the wrist and you can come out of the drift back to grip in a more controlled fashion instead of the wheel spinning violently back straight. Minimizes the input and output. While increasing overall angle dramatically. However I imagine this would be bad on a grip car where you want to hold a precise line around long sweeping corners.]]>

as far as the attraction i can offer two views one of the owner of an 86 and one that is the opinion of other profesional racers that i have heard over the years.

mine is that the car is the one car that always seems to escape my grasps, no matter how bad i want one or if i own one i can never get a chance to do anything with it or anything althogh i have to admit the power platforms for the corolla leave something to be desired but hey thats why i love jsp's swap of the honda f20 keep the sound of the high rev toyota 20v but make way more reliable power.

then there is the opinion of some gt drivers and also tsuchia san, they say that the 86 is the one car that is so hard to figure out. but when you do its the easiest car to drive. its the perfect learning tool to drive cuz you have to drive it right or suffer the consequences. if you drive a car that is more forgiving you never learn the proper way to react (quote from sr jackie stewart )

never the less its old so what but the reason you buy an old triump or austin or alfa isnt becasue its the fastest thing out there. its simply for the sure fact that its there and still faster than most the cars on the track (new or old)

just click the link turn up your speakers and close your eyes. if you dont get turned on your should check your pulse !!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__UAuBu6hLs

A Q from hachiroku.net;

"i'd be interested in hearing how you plan on keeping the cost down on these.

for whatever reason (mostly the incorporated spindle), bolt-on corolla coilovers generally cost 6-700 dollars more than the same coils do for other applications. What areas will they have to cut corners in order to charge the same amount the do for an s-chassis setup? what type of spindle will be used, etc.

basically what I'm saying is. Stance charges 1100-1200 for s-chassis coils, but 1700-1800 for corolla application. DG-5 charges 2400 or so for s-chassis, but 3000 for corollas etc. This cant be for no reason. What measures is PBM going to take to charge 1000 bucks for these.

Basically I'd just like to know some details about how they will be built, the materials, components, etc."

Re: humbly request your services for AE86 http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?7155 The thing I like about using my own spindles is that I get that peace of mind knowing I'm using the factory OEM spindles that were meant to be used with my hubs.
Also using my own spindles allows me to pick and choose what which one I want to use (i.e. Celica, Supra, TE72, AE86, etc)

Also, in addition to most Corolla owners being cheap they also seem to have a different mind-state than other drifters. As per say 240 guys are usually on the look out for newer and better products most AE86 drivers are happy with the tried and true T3 coilover setup using GC sleeves, Eibach springs, and HTS inserts.

Another thing to consider is the design of the rear coilover. I've always liked the true coilover unit like the one T3 or Paradise Racing offers but it MAY have its downside, I'll post more on that later tonight.

If you don't think newer spindles were meant to be used with your hubs there's something a little off.

Now I know you like the OEM to OEM, but there are good identical copies as well that allow a person to NOT CHOP up OEM suspension and perhaps KEEP it or offer it to say my friend with a te72.

I'm not exactly totally opposed to the design... more not sure]]>

PRO:













Comp:







This is the pillowball top mount removed from the coilover assembly shown with the lock ring removal tool on the left and on the bottom of the photo is the aluminum bushing used to align a 1&5/8" / 40mm hole saw & arbor required for making room in the car for the pillowball the rear upper mount.

The process is:
A. clamp the PB housing in a vice
B. remove lock ring
C. remove pillowball with a press or hammer it out with a socket
D. use the aluminum bushing to align and cut your 1&5/8" / 41mm hole centered on the OEM shock mount hole
E. sand the paint around the cut hole
F. drop in pillowball housing with the threads facing down (pillowball removed so you dont cook it) and weld the perimeter
G. after the welds are cool, put the PB back in the housing and secure with lock ring using loctite on the threads.
H. bolt in rear coilover assembly

The Lock ring tool and the alignment bushing is included with every set of Comp and Pro AE86 coilovers. The 1&5/8" hole saw and arbor is not.

& Now that I think about it if they are identical to the lower links you could just get a set of 4 lower links and fabricate?

You should snap a picture of the castor/camber adjustable upper plates..

Out of curiosity are you planning to produce an equal length 4-link kit? ]]>

What do you mean "equal length" aren't the top ones way shorter on the OEM mounting point?]]>

nice photos. That shows in the cleanest view ever that the AE86 has a very simple suspension (thats a good thing). Add our coilovers into that picture with the weld on pillowball top mounts and the whole system would be spherical bearing & that would be perfection!]]>

We have finished the design and testing of the AE86 coilovers!

~ 8 and 6 KG springs F/R
~ True coil over damper rear conversion
~ Weld on connection to front spindle
~ Weld in rear upper mounts w/ Spherical bearing housing
~ Stock arrives in March
~ Pre-order your Competition version pictured below for just $1000 today!
~ Also available in PRO version with comp features plus CASTER adjustable front upper mount, spherical bearing rear lower mount and Super Light Linear Springs for $1350

~ More AE86 Multilink, Chassis and Steering parts coming soon = )

I would like to thank Ryan Literal for being our ginuea pig...

...and also for handling track testing duty.

Camber adjustable top plate (pictured without damper adjuster installed)

Front Coilovers welded to OEM spindle:

In the back we changed the car to a true coil-over-damper instead of using the OEM style separated spring and damper.
This means you will have the ultimate selection of springs available to you and you will have more ride height adjustability.
Rear Coilovers installed:

We took some Ground Control/Eibach/AGX coil over dampers off this car and the spacer they used for the top of the spring killed 3 inches of shock travel. This is our solution:

These Spring top hats completely separate the pillowball motion from the spring action, and with our cylindrical design, the damper body can actually pass through and above the spring giving unrestricted stroke.

Dont blame us for the inconsistent roll cage welds, that was there already!
Next pic is the rear upper mount and pillowball housing welded into the car (damper adjuster not installed)
This gets rid of the old rubber bushing upper mounts that rob the feel and response of the rear suspension.

This is our solution for the rear lower mount, the car came to us with the OEM tab bent down, and we fortified it with a triangle gusset against the 4 link bracket.

At this cars ride height, the upper rods on the 4 link were binding so we recommend moving the mount up through the rear seat floor to correct the rods angle, improve roll center and prevent binding.

The diff was laying on the bump stop that was mounted between the 2 holes in the bare space in this pic:

So to gain rear suspension travel, we trimmed the rubber stop with an air saw.

Now we are ready for ride hight and handling bliss!

With the new found traction, Ryan can throw his hachi-roku around harder than ever without ever lifting off the throttle!
Good job keeping up with Ross Petty!

I think they will be pleased regardless. I would love to see some more pictures of the rear welding either process or diff shots of the trunk area. Sorta hard to distinguish previous work on the already modified car.

Awesome work though. I feel fortunate enough to have a shop near me who would probably not mind accomplishing the modifications.

Will the traction brackets w/ mount be a separate part?]]>

Re: humbly request your services for AE86 http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?7155
We cut a hole, pop in the housing, weld around the perimeter of the housing, and then bolt in the pillowball retainer from the underside after the housing cools. It actually does not touch the roll cage base / rear strut tower brace at all in the car we did, but you could easily connect them together.

We are going to include a hole saw guide with the coilovers. Its a metal bushing that slips in the OEM shock mount hole. This will perfectly center and stabilize the (home depot) hole saw thats used to make a perfect hole for welding in the housing.

Really feeling this, have you gotten any deposits yet? How many can you take on the first batch/price-point of $1000 ?

also, this is a big surprise after you posted a separate rear spring/shock kit in the '8 COILOVER Applications' thread or w/e haha.]]>

The powered by max setup is by far the best coil over setup for our cars period! Super smooth can go lower than anything on the market, and dans customer service is on point. There rebuildable and u can get custom spring rates. I've used it for about 3 drift events and i come from agx ,Trd springs and t3 type front setup. Night and day difference. My transitions are smoother my speed is quicker and it absorbs bumps in the course better. I'd by far recommend these.

Good job Dan & PBM
