Red9Design coilovers.........article coming soon - Page 2

Alex,
I just ordered a set of front and rear coil-over suspension setups from Simon.
Did you install the rear shocks too? Are you on 944T rear trailing arms? Did you narrow your front beam? Any issues if yes to the above?

I also decided that it would be better to have the Manx on the road this summer, rather than mess around with installing the 928 front suspension. This will complete the purchase of major components and now on to assembly. I purchased/received one of Eagle's rear uni-ball trailing arms mounts ($200.) and hope to trial install these this weekend, remove and powder coat next week.

Looking forward to a rolling chassis...

Hi Randy,

My beam is not narrowed. I do have rear coilovers but got the ones from Remmele. I am using the early 944T trailing arms.
Pics are in the gallery and in the Cup brace article on the main site.
The front install is very easy. I have the article done by this weekend.

Take pics of your setup....specially the Eagle spring plates for the suspension gallery.

Hi Alex,
What did you pay for the rear coil over's from Remmele minus the transportation costs? Did you also remove the torsion tubes?
Thanks,
Walter

Torsion tubes are removed and I paid approx 1200DM from Tafel at that time. I did not have to pay the tax due to export.

Randy,
I am converting to coil-over on the front and giving serious consideration to doing the same on the rear. Could you tell me what shock lenghts you are using and the spring rates. I have dropped spindles in the front; so, I think I'll use stock length shocks. Talking to Simon, he thought 125# springs would work for the front. My car is a Speedster. I'm planning to lower the rear the sme amount as the front.

What do you think Eric.

Sorry, I meant Alex not Eric.

Alex...Any chance of an update on this frontend setup? Is it any good?
Thanks

Anybody??

Alex,

I appreciate the article here on GL tech, but I really would like to know how you like it? Did you find any flex in the shock support towers? Did you totally weld the seams? How is the ride? Have you had a chance to do much spirited driving???

Thanks for any input you can offer
