Thanks Dion, Just checked out the website.
Are any other suppliers doing 240 Coilovers or has anyone got parts from an abandoned project in the garage maybe ? I don't mind travelling to collect.
Thanks
Sid

I would advise Classic Swede, best price and quality. Other then that Kaphlenke (which is more expensive and a lot in shipping), Yoshifab (same issue) and a company in Sweden forgot the name but low quality shocks (chinabay)

Just go Classic Swede. Far easier and Dai is a top bloke, or go Kaplhenke but you'll have to spend 25-30% extra to get them. Kaplehnke are $1900 minus shipping for the whole set.

Chances are you do not even need coilover for what you want. A good set of lowering springs and dampers will transform the way your 240 handles. Combine that with wider wheels and tyres it will grip and handle well. Add poly bushes and and chassis braces they can be impressive. Coilove rs are more for racing or extrema lowering and are not ideal for a road car.

Hi everyone,
My wagon has newish unknown make lowering springs fitted, front always looks too high, the rear end bottoms out and clunks with three in the back but have some Grayston spring assistors to try, would be nice to set a ride height with damping to suit, has anyone made any other non specific Coilovers fit ?

Thanks
Sid

What makes you say this?

As long as you're running a decent spring rate then there's no reason you can't use coilovers every day and they are comfortable. The only real downside is that they require extra care when used in bad weather to stop them rusting. I find a big handful and grease on the threads protects them well enough.

I've ran coilovers daily on a few cars right through winter and never had trouble with them. That even extends to carrying weights and cars full of people on both cheap fk branded coilovers and expensive BC Racing ones.
