im interested in knowing this aswell.. ive been thinking of doing a coil over conversion in the rear of my gq wagon, just cut a hole in the floor and build an frame coming off the chassis for the mounts..

Joshy. How much travel do your shocks have and what is there ride height length?

14 and 14, Ride height length depends on how much up travel you want?..

100mm up travel.

about 710mm eye to eye. I think the biggest problem fitting them or any coilover in the front of a patrol would be chassis clearance. Nav chassis is 200mm narrower then the patrol which gave me more room on the diffs

edit: just measured against a GU then, 2" more between chassis and tyre on the nav.

Thanks Joshy, I will take some measurements and see how hard they will be to fit.

I measure the front and have 600m eye with 4 inch lift and 50mm raised shock towers, and there is still another 200mm space below the bonnet.
The rears will easier to fit.
When my current shocks die I might look at a set of these.

Dunno if itd be worth it with standard patrol front end set up. Mine fit under the bonnet easy, could have gone the 18" ones. That might change with your sump clearance aswell tho. Ive got 5 1/2 of up till the diff hits the chassis, just clears the sump, once i set it up properly ill have 4 1/2 -5 up travel.
