Looks great!

I have not dug in to the suspension science yet, so what does the rod which go from the right of the body to the left of the axle do?

Stops the axle asembly from shifting left to right!!

Where did he buy those coilovers? And for what price?

Post by **PIMP** » 16 Jan 2006 09:23 pm

i can supply you the coilovers if you want, they are £250plus carriage the pair, i am still playing about with spring rates at the moment.... 250lb springs seem to b a good compromise, wot are you using the car for... street, drift, rally etc??? i can also supply a kit to convert the leaf spring setup to a 5 link adjustable for about £250 aswell, all you have to do is weld it in place.

am working on an adjustable rose jointed front set up with coilovers right now!!!!!

i want that 5-link too.. but what about making a set with wattlink too?

Panhard is just a half wattlink, but its also the easiest..

What is the cost for coilovers rear, and 5link setup? 500 pounds?

If i bought this, and put this on my car.. would i ever get it legal, on the road?

That will depend on the regulations in your country. It's perfectly possible here.

cheers
