you stumped up for the kit then?

happy with it?

oh and did you get the updated kit with the stainless end bushings on the tiebars?? if not, get in touch with simon and he'll post you the new bushings.. the bronze ones have caused a few issues and are being offered as an upgrade for free.

Yummy teaser

I should have the stainless ones......which color are the bronze ones? I talked to Simon just after I heard about the problem and he told me that I am fine.
Look at the pic in the suspension gallery.....you can see them there.

Does this mean you have given up with having double wishbones up front?

Here's mine so far:

I have given up on it. Not that I would not want it but my car is getting to close to get painted and my pan is already done.
It would get more expensive too so I decided to get the coilover kit.

Alex,

So are you using the torsion bars at the front with the coil-overs?
Or letting them swing free

bren · #8 March 5th 2003, 10:41

yeah you got the updated stainless ends alex..
will hopefully get mine at some point this year if i manage to sell my other bug..

Alex · #9 March 5th 2003, 15:37

Kiwivw,

no...the torsion leaves are out and a replacement bar is inserted that has swivels at the end of them so that the trailing arms and swing freely up and down.

Alex, how's the article going? I'm in the process of designing a similar setup and trying to decide what shocks and spring rates to use. I'll probably go with the same coil-over shocks from Simon. But I'm not sure what length and spring rate I need. I'm running 2 1/2 inch dropped spindles and want to drop it another 2 inches, maybe a little bit more. Do you or anyone else out there have any suggestions?

factman · #11 March 7th 2003, 12:10

hey guys, can you post a link to the website that does that coilocer kit? is it a bolt on kit or do i have to just find what i want and fab it together? also you were talking about that replacement torsion bar that you put in instead of the leafs, where would i get that if i decided to go coilover? thanks guys. Sam

I'd like to know who makes the shock and spring. Looks good.

Alex,

If you get a chance, could you post the model numbers of the GAZ shocks, must be on them somewhere. I'd like to know what weight they support.

Thanks
