I know there are a couple of people interested in coilovers and engine mounts in Holland. They are going to build a custom coilover which uses widely available shocks. I'll link them to this topic.

couldn't say at the moment - do you have more information and a price for the coilovers? i.e. all four corners? how many and location of links? possible adjustment options?

Cheers

What flavour of engine mounts are you doing? Ditto suspension, which ARB type would you go with?

To give you a clue, 1.4's and 1.7's share front engine mounts (not rear from memory, but that could be wrong) so thats 3 types, then there are the 360 engine mounts, which I havn't really played with in a long time, but I think from memory one in the middle of the block, so 4 types in all.

Early 360's and 340's have the ARB on the wishbone with droplinks, late 360s have it on the strut itself.

haha, I have a full pair of front struts right here - but I'm afraid I'm more interested in rear suspension than the front...
