MK front coil convertion

Post by Hoppy11 »

I have been given a GQ chassis minus diffs (damn) all the suspension is there including panhards, would it be feasable to use GQ suspension arms and chassis mounts to Convert the MK front to coils by welding new mounts to the current diff??, or am I dreaming. the chassis was free

Get a GQ front diff and take the old one out and postion it up and measure it all. I think you'll have problems with your panhard and the steering box from what I've been thinkin and talkin to others about But I'm probly wrong! Lol

i've been looking at this for a while, I just can't see how you can fit the coils on the mq front diff. GQ front diff is the way to go, its wider, pick up the better cv's also, otherwise consider coil overs on the front if you want the mq diff...they may work i reckon

I looked at doing it but decided it wasnt worth it. Now im building a GQ chassis with coilovers and am going to stick my MQ body on it. I think its the better option.

i think this would be the beter option to buy GQ diffs, everything is bolt on then, the only thing you need to modify is the body mounts and put the body on top
i think the advantages of having a GQ chassis with GQ diffs outway the MQ diffs under a GQ chassis

Sorry I didnt explain that well enough. I am putting GQ diffs under her

Infact it will be; GQ chassis, GQ diffs, GQ transfer and 5speed, MPI 350 chev with an MQ body (with GQ guards)

Because I've got a LWB GQ rolling chassis in my shed that is taking up room. Thought you may have wanted some bits, but it looks like you're all sorted.
