The guy that makes these, his name is Gabriel Tyler of the 4AG forums. He makes them for Toyota's for $550 for the pair. He owns his own machine shop he can possibly fab you a pair for the 240 if it is in enough demand for him to make them.
He uses the complete short stroke dampening from the AGX, it has just been modified for coil over use. he will build them to what ever spring rate you demand.
You can reach him at his email at ggtyler@yahoo.com

The car audio is removable in less than 20 minutes, coilovers take 2-3+ hours to take out, if your a novice at removing them. So the weight of the system is no worry for me. (flame me or not, it doesn't matter to me!)
Why would you take out the coilovers once they are installed?? That has me confused...

Also... your theory on weight distribution with drifting with weight in your truck is totally whack. More weight in the trunk is going to keep you from kicking the rear end of the car out. Peroid.

Simple physics and dynamics are going to tell you, less weight = easier to spin wheel = easier to kick out + understeer = drift. Granted, there is much more than that, but thats the simplicity of it.

Honestly, you really do sound like some 16y/o tool who just got his first car, and bought (or had bought for you) cause you want to be cool and in the clique. Talking out of your ***, and contridicting countless statements.

Also, you didn't even have a clue as to what coilovers were. Coilovers are even used in drag racing. Serious and amature. Oh, and street racing is not drag racing.

I am on several internet forums, and ya know if you posted this kind of drivel anywhere else, you would start to cry from the flaming. These guys are puppy dogs compared to most boards.

Like it was said before, READ more and type less. Read, absorb, and ask good questions. If you honestly don't know the differences in parts, ask. But, don't just speak about parts that you obviously have no idea about. Ask specific questions, and give details on the situation.

Just making a point. I wouldn't need to, unless they are worn out.

I don't care what your theory is, I'm working on mine, so just keep your theory's to yourself. Oh yeah, learn how to write, it's TRUNK not TRUCK!!!!

Go to h*ll. I'm 20, had several cars, that I worked my *** of to buy. Several cars include 1) '89 Mustang 5.0, 2) '95 civic, 3) '95 Trans Am w/supercharger & 10 lb pulley,4) '95 Eclipse, and finally the 5) '90 240sx. Bought all cars, upgrades and everything myself. It's cool owning your own home business, and making anywhere between 3K-15K/month depending on the type of business, either car audio, or computers & electronics.

Whatever, We start at a dead start, race point-to-point 1/4 to 1 mile. I don't care what you have to say about it.

Like I care if your on several forums, I'm probably sure that 99% of users at this forum is on atleast 3 other forums. In matter of fact, I'm on around 10+ forums. Big whoop! I flame people on other forums all the time. BIG WHOOP in that to. I've gotten my share of flaming.

Yeah LIKE IT WAS SAID BEFORE, I've already heard that. So YOU don't have to say it again..."Don't just speak about parts...situation" blah blah blah, its all over the forums.

oh yeah... I asked a question, and wanted a f*cking answer. AND GUESS WHAT...??? I GOT THE ANSWER.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't give a f*ck what you have to say about me or my cars, or whatever.

CLOSE THIS THREAD, I'm tired of seeing it in my email, and User panel, after replies.

(oh I never dealt with full coilover kits before, I always bought springs and struts, just didn't want to go that route this time. GOT IT!!!!!???????)
