Was running around the Intarweb (invented by Al Gore) and spotted this cool kit to install coilover shocks on the back of an A body. Threaded aluminum shock bodies the works. Would these then take the place of the original springs or would you use them together? Seems a bit of over kill using 4 springs back there but then I don't know about the design of putting all that spring pressure and body weight on one little bolt and bracket either. Thoughts?
I though his name was Algorezeera now? Those coilovers wouldn't work without the regular springs. You really shouldn't use the shock mounts to hold up the weight of the car. I don't know why you would need four springs either? Road racing applications? My cars only go good in a straight line so I'm no curvy suspension dude. My Custom Cruiser is about the furthest thing from a corner carver you can get .
I don't think I'll be autocrossing in my wagon either, but I downloaded the instruction .pdf file and it plainly states to remove the springs yet doesn't say when or how to reinstall them. That just seems weird...
Do you have a link to the coilovers you are talking about? Many coilovers take the place of the original springs.
ok gotcha. So besides looking cool and being expensive and having a million adjustments, are they that much better for a weekend cruise mobile? I just can't seems to want them bad enough...
Check out some reviews online. I've heard of bad reviews on the QA1 shocks. Afco and Ridetech also make coilovers I believe for the A body.
