Hey,
I really can't be much help but I have looked into this myself and found with the factory shock towers theres not much room for springs or any alignment adjustments. Most all coil over setups I've seen have been on track cars which have modified shock towers and real heavy springs. I'm not sure theres room given the diameter of the shock and the overall spring size. Here is a couple of links, I contacted the air cooled classics but didn't get a good vibe and passed. I didn't want to install heavy springs my reasons were to soften up the ride and add street driveablity. Let me know what you find out ! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread....lover+coil+over http://www.aircooledclassics.biz/parts1.shtml |
