to coil or not to coil

[chunderlicious]

setting up car for faster, whinch type events, i will have a Hilux that is allready fitted with a dropped crossmember. the question i ask is;

would coil front and rear or leaf front coil rear be the better setup for stability and control. dont really care about flex or comfort for the moment (to an extent) but am more after the better option.

dont know about anything else without having a bit more of a think...but a coil front would give you much better approach angle...not having to worry about smashing shackles and so on.

Go a 3 link Bundera coily front end and a 4runner/surf rear 5 link coil setup.
If you run the surf rear end and bundy up front with ifs hub kit you will increase your track width by 3".
Can pick up front Bundera chasis cut for around $900 and rear surf chasis cuts for $500 with diff and axles.
The 3 link is not the best for flex but it is real good at high speed stuff.

got Dobbin A frame and 1200mm lower links rear

and i allready got GQ radius arms and front diff, but would like to register the car and i think it would be alittle hard to cover the wheels with the GQ diffs.

I think it would count as a "suspension transplant" and as long as you cover the wheels with flexiflares you should be right.

If I can get a GQ F&R to fit under a Kia Sportage......
