red9design coil overs for a beam (ball joint front end)
 

has any one using these? are they any good? have you got any pics of what it is that replaces the torsion leaves in the front beam?

thanks
kris

Hey Kris, have you seen this thread, HERE there is a few pix within.
Ive asked a similar question as you but nobody has replied.

Have a look on Red9`s website to answer yo other Q`s HERE

I'm looking to go this way with mine.

thats great thanks pablo, i think i am definatly going to go that direction :agree:
and the price seems quite resonable as well
having read there page, are you going to go for the complete kit or just the front end coil overs, i owuldnt mind some feedback on the lowered spring plates for swing axle

Im going for the whole jobbie, shocks and bars.

I think its rather expensive meself compared to a set of dropped spindles, (under £200) I am going to wait til Bugfreeze to see if they have them on a show special.

I think I will still need to spend more on a pair of caster shims and those bumpsteer bushes to relocate the steering arms underneath, depending on how much I lower it.

But having said that its IMHO a better way to lower the front than those weld in adjusters. The dropped spindles might still be the way, the only drawback is the width.

i was looking at it as more of lowering while improving the handeling a coil over type suspension is surely better than the old torsion leaves? i dont like the weld in adjusters#( i lost all handeling characteristics of a bug, it handeled like the titanic!) and dropped spindals dont really take the car low enough for me
