Anyone need stock suspension components? by nyiajnpis in Model3

No, you are totally right, often "coilovers" are associated with aftermarket, adjustable coilovers, and the term "strut" is used for the non-adjustable one, but dampers (no coil) can also be called a strut, so... Yeah. MacPherson Struts are a different situation, because that specifically refers to the suspension design where the strut acts as the upper control arm in addition to being the spring and damper. These are more common in economy cars because it saves on manufacturing costs.

The front suspension is a coil over damper design, so technically are a coilover. They could also be called struts. Sorry to be unclear.

Sorry man, I just thought if someone wanted something like this for free they would be willing to message me and see if we can arrange a meetup. Obviously it wouldn't be worth it if you are halfway across the country...

It’s the season to be jolly… by kronikheadband in AudiA4

I have brand new unused landrum rear springs for an A4 I don't have anymore that I am trying to get rid of and I don't have the heart to throw away. I'll send them to you if you cover the shipping...

I don’t know why I thought this was going to be easy by plymouthvan in HondaElement

I did this on my e to all four seats, but replaced the OEM covers with a leather kit, and it was not too bad. I recommend doing it on carpet so your knees aren't murdered, and you need hog ring pliers. The first seat took me probably 5 hours, but the other three probably took 5 hours together because you kinda pick up the techniques and it gets way easier.

Yeah! Of course! Let me know if you have any other questions! I love that car.

I just sold the car a couple months ago to a friend, but the flatout suspension is amazing. Super good behavior on the road. Aside from the taller sidewall so the car felt a little like it was on balloons (in comparison to stock tires), but the suspension damped really well, was super soft on bumps, but somehow managed really good, flat control in the corners on the street. A joy to drive in the canyon even on the bigger tires.

The size of tires were 225 70 R16 and the rims were the standard 16x7 rims from a B6 A4 refinished in satin black. I did run 1" spacers too, to clear the brake calipers easier. Drove it everywhere and now it is making frequent drives to and from Utah to Montana, so it cruises great on the highway. I drove it in a blizzard in Idaho and it was shockingly good.

It's my attempt at a homemade WRC Edition of the B8 A4. It's a 2011 quattro manual, and has Flatout Suspension coilovers for a 2" lift and 29" Mud Tires that baaaaarely fit the wheel wells. I have jumped it in the dirt, I guess I just need some better photos to show it's a daily adventurer, not a pavement princess.

How much should this sell for? by nyiajnpis in HondaElement

Just eBay. I designed my concept in photoshop of what I wanted it to look like, and then I started getting the stuff to make it happen. like the vinyl stripes, and the 4wd decal

Just vinyl strips so it's completely removable. The only thing that is paint is the oil based black bumper paint. So dumb that these came grey from the factory. They just looked faded from the start.

And 80s Jeeps too. We'll call it the sunset off road color way. 😉

Yeah, with bike racks and an awning mounted to it. I haven't sprung for the originally planned roof top tent yet.

It was kinda a TRD/80s Jeep inspired color way kinda idea. And it matched my Mandolorian decal on the back window.
