Subject: Re: Van Steel Coilovers for my 85 by klkordzi on 2010/3/18 1:34:02 I also looked at the work LD85 did and went his route of making up shock towers. My daughters fiance is a welder and I mocked the towers up in cardboard and her made them up in steel and also welded them in. Whether coilovers are worth it probably as with all things in hot rodding, is a matter of preference. I did QA1 coilovers all around because it was cheaper than replacing the leaf spring. I also can change the spring rate very easily and also ended up with adjustable shocks. I made up a lower rear mount to eliminate using the stock mount. Using the stock mount required shimming the coilover away from the knuckle for clearance and worried me about putting to much force on the stock stud mount. |
