Reply to "coil over shocks"

With the car on the floor, the compression is due to adjustment to increase height...the result from adjusting to the top of the treads-compressing the spring equals to a hard drive and aquired about 1/2" in height and when lossen to the bottom it gets softer but the car gets lower. I need to have additional clearance of about 3/8 of an inch to feel confortable during hard cornering. Hope that I can accomplish that with out over hardening the coilovers.

I got an idea from another forum and someone recomended the relocation of the top bracket...the feel of the car is of a race nature and it is natural that the lack of rubber bushings on the rear and lack of torsion bars transmit all the road imperfections to the bottom of your seat.

Nevertheless I love the car!

Ok...I got a new set of air shocks to find out that one was defective!! it was a US made...I can not imagine when -soon- most of the auto parts may be manufactured in china!

I will get another pair and try the air system...I will be out of 50 bucks..I may try to refurbish the ones that I had in the car ....the coil over is the best design for my mid engine application. I am curious about the installation of the air shocks and see how the car will behave.

Thanks for any additional comments!
