i have decided to try a coil setup on my mq diffed NT zook. if it doesnt work ill just make it leaf sprung so it doesnt matter if it will be wrong i just want a few opinions.
i plan to run GQ control arms up front with a panhard and a 3 link A frame in the rear. will this work or will it be bind? it isnt a road rig so legal isnt an issue, i just want to have some fun and bash about a bit.

id say go 3 link with panhard all round or maby even a frame rear
i wouldnt bother with the 3 link design using the nissan control arms
should work good

cheers rb, why do you say not to bother with the control arms? i thought this would be easy to do as aposed to a three link etc.

the control arms will bind and you will want more flex than wat they will allow

U could try rangie arms to make it easier...
Would it b worth coiling std zook diffs (WT) or not worth the hassle.
cheers

depends wat you want to do. 31s and coild wt track diffs would give good flex and good handeling and would be a pritty strong setup

the gq arms will bind
all radius arm do exact same as 5 links do
just build a simple 3 link
and 4 link the rear or 3 link
have a look at chopzuk's thread
its a simple design but works very well
or call up Sam from Overkill and he will hook u up with a kit that u just weld on
