Coil-over front suspension users.

Is anyone using the coil-over front suspension like on the Ricola Racing website? (Check out the my car...suspension section at www.ricola.co.uk )

Does anyone have any input on this package?

a friend of mine will soon be installing a very similar set up but using tie bars that use the stock grub screws rather than the legend kit which protrudes through the trailing arm pivots.. ive checked the kit over straight outta the box and it looks great, on my advice, my friend will be having his shock towers seam welded rather than relying on the stock spot welds taking the weight, but as the spring rate of the coils is near stock, and the damping is firm, but not hard, the lower shock mounts will be more than adequate as they are... other people i know with the same kit have had no trouble at all, and they havent welded the shock towers at all..


will keep you all updated on it all.. as and when cash allows, i will be buying the kit for myself.. but thats a way off right now as im supposed to be saving to buy a house!

Thanks for the information Bren.

Which kit is your friend using?

Where can I get pics of it as well as more info?

I am already stitch welding my towers as well as planning to tie them to the body/cage.

Thanks in advance.
