    Fitting Coil overs onto 4 motion bora

    Who has fitted coil overs to a bora 4 motion?? The type I'm purchasing do not have the mounting point to attach the sway bar link. I'm thinking of changing sway bar and changing to smaller link which is attached to the lower control arm. Has anyone come across this issue and what have you done compensate??

    dont go to the control arm mounting point. its a nightmare.
    why dont the coilovers have a 4mo connection? because if they are for a FWD version the rears wont fit.

    The sway bar link on the 4mo uses the lower strut mount, dont the coils attach in the same way?

    edit: If you mean the fronts then sorry, no idea

    yeah id imagine so... you would have to ask how they go about it.
    depends what company your ordering from. ECS gear seems to get here pretty quick, i know my tyres from the US get here within 5 working days normally. Other things can take forever.

    The place where I got them from said they had a few customers that were having trouble with fk's, oil spilling from the coils after a few months instead of getting replaced I bought the weitecs and never looked back they are nearly triple the price of the fk streetline
