Anybody who knows Japanese please help me - 10-28-2008, 10:47 AM

I found a Japanese magazine, Only Mercedes, and it features 190E 2.3-16 race car from Japanese students. They applied Zeal suspension which they are the sponsor.

I am not sure they are modified from which japanese model but it looks great.

If anybody knows Japanese and can find out the information underneath, that's great for all of us.



you can download the article here

Sawatdee krup khun Ake RT,

I found the web site for the suspension items in question:

ENDLESS OFFICIAL WEBSITE

I viewed the web site using Google translate. I had to highlight the translateable text to read it, sine the original site uses white typeface.

Prices are given on the web site, in yen of course. The way of expressing prices in Japan can be confusing, but it goes like this: they first list how many 10,000 yen notes are required, followed by how much yen less than 10,000. The 10,000 yen note (approximately 100 USD) is the largest bill in their system, and with everything super-expensive in Japan, you think big when you shop there.

Choke-dee na krup.

Tracy Hagen

Thank you so much Tracy,

What I am looking at is not the brand of the suspension. Now I am curious about the Japanese model they adapted from. It looks like the suspension they took from was coilover and saparate the springs out of the shocks to suit 190E suspension.

400,000 or 40,000???

If its 400,000.................that's too pricy on that price we can buy custom made from bilstien or H&R for couple sets.

1 USD now approx = 35 Bath

Oh and u can tell them what kind of hardness u want in the shocks.
Price that i was quoted is 4 shocks and 4 adjustable block. we can use back our 16v springs or any springs to cut to desire. they also have customs springs to go with but i will cost more. its a monotube technology that is use in rally cars.
