Who does 8-9'' coils for GQ

[heathgu]

To all the people who say that 8" coils are unstable.

Have you ever driven in a vehicle that has been setup correctly at this high. My guess is that you have not.

Funny thing is that Ian Paltridge white GU ute at this years outback challenge runs 8" coils in the front and from all reports was one of the fasts cars across the broken paddocks in the navigation stages (spectators and officials report). I was talking to ian and he said that had it tapped out at 135, and if they had more revs he thinks that hey could have gone at least another 15-20km/h faster. And if you look at some of the scores was extremely competive. Last year he had 8" coils and a 5-link and came 11 overall.

So what can you say to that??

It is funny that people who have never seen or been in a correctly build truck, that is high. Are the major critics, sure you may have had 7" coils in yours or your buddy/random did and said it was crap. Did he take the time to lower panhard rod, lower steering arms etc, etc. Was the vehicle suspension designed specifically for 7/9" lift. My guess NO.

To all the people out there that do run big lift maybe you should give some suggestions as to what will make this height coil work rather than bagging some one when you do not know the intented purpose of the vehicle.

I am pretty sure that all he was asking, who builds 8-9" Coils.
Give brent at wizard performance on the gold coast a ring he should be able to help.

Cheers Heath.

I could be wrong, but I heard Nick Mannell had 9 inch King coils in his gold GU that flopped onto it's side in Nissan trials four or five years ago.

and i've seen him drive all too often and the flop had NO relation to the height.



In regards to who makes the coils......most places will make custom coils.
If he has coils he's happy with at the moment, get them made with the same poundage...........or add or take out where needed. Bearing in mind tho, a little firmer the higher you go as theres more leverage to make it work.

If 8" coils are the poo why has he dropped back to 7" inch and pissed the 5 link off for radius arms?

They are 8" coils i know that dirt comp said 7" but they are 8", and the five link fouled with the new suspension geometry.
