Ive got a 3l gita and havent found much info re choices so went to stocks but they didnt have a listing. I saw that Tein do a set of basic wagon level coilovers but would love to hear from anyone with any ideas. Want it to be reasonable riding and was hoping to avoid certs which was why konis appeal.Cheers

A while ago I was considering getting the koni from stocks too, but didnt have enough funds to get then at that time.

They told me all they needed was the numbers/code that was written on the suspension to check with what they had which I'm sure works with the Gita.

From what I've read on the net, most Altezza suspensions should work with the Gita....

thanx for the help. At Stocks we checked the chassis code and there was nothing listed but they did say they could probably sort something once they pulled it to bits. I had a good result with konis on my old rs legacy so maybe that will be the answer, unless anyone else has any ideas.....

Just an update, after researching as much as poss, I now have my gita sitting on a set of Bilstien coilovers off a sedan, so can confirm that the fitment is the same as the sedan. Its dropped 35mm and stiffened up nicely, no clearance issues so far...

AL from Driven Performance has coil-overs in his... I think he got made himself.

Nothing to be sorry for :) , Everyone has to learn somehow.

Pics look great, better ride height with the Konis!

just a warning though, 2WD gitas use the same suspension as the sedan, however, I'm pretty sure 4WD gitas use different ones :) Al/Drivenperformance can confirm that
