Ok, Chris's thread and other have got me thinking....
I am running 23mm torsion bars and a large sway bar...big springs in the rear and the car is slammed... From Chris's thread...I just realized that I used up all my shock travel. What ways are there to regain some travel? raise the shock towers? lower the bottom mounting point? others? Any one make a bolt on kit? Ok, on the front... is there any advantage to going with a coil over set up? anyone make them? same question on shock travel....now that I am very low...how can I increase my shock travel....I don' t know if I am bottoming out.. I guess the saving grace is that my suspension is so stiff, there is not much travel...I can jump up and down on any corner and it only moves around 1/4 inch...hmmmm this can by why I spin so much... I am guessing that I am loading up one corner, running out of travel and then the chassis can't take any more.... Looking for some possible solutions.... |

takes mucho reinforcing to run camberboxes and coils up front.... do a seacrh and you should see some install pics... basically - the shock tower of the car wasnt designed for a coil spring.... so you have to make it handle that load now |
