I saw these from RSR and they look pretty sweet. Does anyone run these? I have 911 Boge struts with 3.5 spacing now. Do you know if the A caliper will bolt up to these? What weight spring do I need? It'll be on a street/track 6. I'd like it more track than street. Is there something better or cheaper out there?

QUOTE what is te advantage of coil over versus torsion bar? weight? geometry flexibility? cool factor? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) probably all 3, def. cool factor. but I'd like to know. I can't see the cost being practical for street use tho. |
