Overkill coil conversion kit!!!!!!!

Post by SAWZALL »

The other thread sorta lost it's way and this kit deserves it's own thread.
Seeing as Sam is adding photos of the build as it happens this will be very interesting.

Talking of the kit, even if you just bought a rear kit, imagine:

* 6 inches of suspension lift
* Smoooooth ride
* HEAPS of wheel travel
* No more S shaped springs

Stay tuned.......

had a look at it today at sams.

I think it will work really well, and not too hard to fit either.

Your zook is real neat, you should let me drive it, i could destroy it in 5 minutes flat! I like the coily dash in it, looks good

Yeah looks to good hehehe "LiL' Monsta" sticker and "UPH-11R" plates suited it more on 35's, spring over and 2 inch lift

Coily dash will be going so I can get a cage down the side of the standard one.

Cant wait to wheel it!!!!! (It wont look good for long)

The one on the buggy is still like new but it doesn't do much driving. We will test this one for a fair while and see how we go.
If it starts to get loose we will look for an alternative.

In theory... if you can twist it 90deg, so it is laying down flat, it should hold up heaps better, as the side load is against the cage, not against the linings.
It should have enough misalignment to work laying down flat??
