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?

the advantage/disadvantage of a coil over is:
-much lighter weight/ you are putting sprung weight on the strut itself -huge amount of spring rates to choose from ( I think in either 5 or 10lb increments /... between hollow and solid, 10 options? -can combine two springs, ie: tenders, helpers, heavy and light/ ... just what the torsion gives -at the track quick change/not that much hard to change, but not much fine tuning either. High end springs like Eibach cost upwards about $170 set depending on the size and length. However, I know you can get just as good quality smaller name brands for less than $80 set. Consider a couple sets of different spring rates for different driving scenarios will cost you about the same as a set of nice torsion bars. If your looking for cool, your a tool... and should buy these cause every new must-have-sportscars have these equipped and every cool footballer has these on their Range Rovers. Even Paris Hilton runs coil overs on her new dogs! BUY THEM NOW! From Clint, he will set you up properly even though your goal is somewhat, well, I'm not sure what word to use... anyone? EDIT: I am running 22mm hollow torsion bars... car has never driven in my hands. I have Boge A struts, Koni inserts... they were free. |
