just curious why coils in the rear and not the front? How equal is the roll stiffness front to rear?

Leaves in the front tend not to droop all the way out on big uphill climbs. A coil will just droop to its full length, where as leaves will just return to their static rest point, not continue to droop out to full down travel. This is at a guess anyway.

Looks unrealy Dave.

nice work. Like what you've done so far.

Good to see people chopping up soft tops instead of precious HT's.

isnt that a good reason to put coils in the front?

how does having balanced front/rear articulation induce backflips?

Coils will have more droop when shifting the weight to the back

Coils will have more droop when shifting the weight to the back
and if the weight shifts the other way (if a rear wheel falls in a hole and the opposite front climbs an obsticle, the extra droop will be extra roll and the car will peel off the hill. If the front flexed harder then the likelyhood of this would be reduced. (not saying that it is occuring in this case but in the theorys others are presenting.)

Main reason is cost at this stage hayden could'nt aford to go coils at both ends straight up and theres nothing wrong with a good leaf spring front end anyway. All the Exo cage is done now will try and get some pics soon. Its looking :cool: in my opinion :D Defiatly needs some 37s though.
