SPUA Rear end flex...

I have heard the front done to death but not much is said about the back except for SPOA and coils. What about SPUA guys. I have seen 3/4 and most things around there.

What have people using daihatsu rear springs done to fit them and are they any good. I was thinking of a sort of RUF at the back. Something longer at the back.

Anyone know what springs fit the suzi hangers and allright length. I have heard daishatzu ut don't know what they are from?

Any ideas...

cheers

Hilux rears.

Run em the right way round for not much WB change of reverse them and use a front drive shaft for the rear (extend WB)

Neither will luxes

I think either way there is a fair bit of fab work, hence the simpliciy of a 3/4

Another option could be 1/4 eliptic Spua, never seen it done though (Probably a good reason for it but I dunno)

well you could theoretically do it if you ran a flat spring straight back from the frame spring mount to the diff. You would need to have really big tyres for this to work. Maybe SPOA would be a better option in this case ;)

wtf?

1/4 eleptic mounts to the diff with a shackle there are no springs pads to make it SOA OR SUA

If anybody interested:

Anybody have the measurements of the top spring mount or is a guessing game. Would this mod be a weld on job or could I get away with Drilling and plates.

cheers

yeah I know what I was saying that theoretically you could mount to SPUA but the shackle would be hanging down below the diff. I know it is a stupid idea but theoretically it is possible to 1/4 eliptic it SPUA
