Edit 2: Incase you aren't aware, normally you use 2 coilover springs in series with the free length of each, equal to the coilover stroke i.e. 14" coilover, use 2 x 14" long springs. This depends on what you are after, for most offroad Buggies and TT's on a 14" shock you would run a 16" and 12 ...

We sell Race Runner www.swayaway.com So I’m sort of bias, but I have used King and Fox as well. Seriously there is really very minimal difference between them, Sway A Way use a nitride shaft, wont chip or rust which is the major reason why seals fail, while Fox use a chromed shaft which chip, and k ...

trying to fit it in the front of a front engined four wheel drive is the problem. so you end up putting the links where they fit and then end up trying to fix the poor handeling with sway bars and shock tunning. there is no reason why you can't get a 5 link front to work as well as 5 link rear or 4 ...

Move coils, but they look like they are right up next to the chassis rail so that might be a problem. Sway bar would help but you might just be trying to resolve a symptom and not fix the problem. Changing the angle of the shock won’t do jack in this set up, there are bigger problems. A frames and b ...
