Can you please explain the "Monoball" setup you described?

Also, where did you get the coil overs?

Talking

If you are removing the torsion bars and running a coilover in place of the damper, would there not be stress related issues. Only thinking since the monting points for the shock are not meant to carry the load of the car (just the bound and rebound of the running gear).

Just a thought, what you reckon, does it need spreader plates in these areas.

the mono ball setup is similar to the Porsche 935 rear suspension...
it gets rid of the rear torsion bar and allows the use of an adjustable
coil over in its place...
