Topic: Front Coil Overs (Read 351 times)

I'm contemplating ditching my torsion bars and using coilovers instead. Besides header clearance, are there any other benefits to going this route?
Do coilovers provide more front-end movement?

So, the benefits seem to be header clearance and adjustablility. Anything else?
Since I have to build a custom set of headers regardless, that shouldn't be a problem. Plus, there are plenty of good adjustable shocks available and height is easily adjusted w/ a torsion bar set-up.
I guess I just made my decision.

Tubular upper control arms $300 Coil-over shocks (single adjustable) w/ upper stud mounts $500 The shock mount should be tied into the front cage strut. The lower control arm also needs to be slightly modified so it doesn't fall out. I probably won't end up doing it though, because I want the most front end travel possible. |
