So I just got my Yonaka coilovers after a 2 month wait but am glad i got them. I ordered them from Stat Racing which is one of our sponsors for if you can believe it $499. This is the best price on coilovers i have found now they aren't valve adjustable but ride height is also they are for a EG/DC but i have forks so no prob. Under first inspection they seem well made and of good quality here is what they look like




So i got them in I did have to do a little modification but i kinda expected that since there For EG/DC. The only gripe i have right know is the front is all the way down. I took out all the preload and lowered the perches almost all the way down to get my car where i wanted. The back could go down alot more but dont need to. I also went for a test drive and loved them it felt firm but still smooth and pretty comfortable. You can feel the road but its not like really harsh it feel nice I havent really thrown it through some corners yet but what i have felt very good. The spring rates and valving are matched perfect i was a little wierded out when i read that they were 12k front and 6k rear. But like i said they felt well balanced

do they ride smoother then tokico blues and generic coilovers? if so im considering on buying a set.

Kuppa

more than likely i had ebay coilovers and stock struts and beets the hell out of tha i would recomend them most deffinitley

NeverLift

Kuppa

12k = 672 lb/in... sounds EXTREMELY high for street use.

for some reason i cant see the pics. What modifications did you have to do to make them fit on your da? How hard was it?

Kuppa

i thought so too but it feel good i like them

Kuppa

i had to clearance the fork so they dont rub on my axles and make the fork bolt hold the brake line you can check out all the work i did here

now for the install
old and new


had to grind clearence for the axles so they dont rub and it worked great no rubbing at all


Also no brak line brakets so i drille this out to mount it on the fork bolt







took off this one dont need it anymore

back is in

this is how far the back goes down now when its in the air

and all done with this side on to the other one

how much smoother does it ride after your previous setup?

Kuppa

Way smoother not as harsh or jaring and it doesnt bounce.

projectr

those look like they can handle.good buy

i want somebody who's had experience with mid range - high end suspension setups post a review. None the less the yonaka full coilovers should out perform your hold ebay/stock shock combo.

Any warranty for these coilovers?

I'm not following this. The axles should not be touching the forks at all. Also, the shock fork on each side should be a mirror image of each other. In that pic above, those are 2 forks from the left side of the car (although they look slightly different). You're not using both of those on the front of your car are you? If so, that's why the axle was rubbing, and you really need to get the correct fork on there ASAP.

well first off i drive a DA these coilovers are for a DC. Next the fork on the left is stock and right is DC notice how much more the one on the left has more arch or curve. The reason for that is to clear the axle so to use the dc forks and my coilovers i made a small clearencs area to clear my axle. Now i dont really have any problems and many people have done a DC to DA suspension swap. that is why there wuld have been rubbing but i have fixed it before it started

Are those ebay coilovers on the left? Sell me the sleeved perch....I need the front sleeved perch...

Kuppa

I dont want to part them out i would sell the whole set

Why didn't you just use the DA forks, and attach them to your new coilovers?

That looks dangerous.

The DA shocks are smaller than the the Dc ones .... he has to use the DC forks.
The little shaving that was done will not affect the car's suspension

those coilovers are sweet! they look like coilovers from daiyama.

Wasn't aware of this, I thought they were the same.

I've never owned a DA, only DC's.
