Re: Need Pic\'s of Coil Setup\'s...

Home made 3 link, upper link with trailer hitch, Audi 80 coils (too short),
coils are limiting articulation.

Re: Need Pic\'s of Coil Setup\'s...

How is the Trailer hitch holding up? Good idea! Flex looks fine to me, but like you said, I'm sure with longer coils you would get more.

Re: Need Pic\'s of Coil Setup\'s...

my 1st version had cheap hitch and it cracks after few months.
I need to find out better and stronger setup during winter...
Lateral forces were too much for it.

Skoda Faforit has berfect coils for my system. I think they might be too soft for pavement use /wwwthreads_images/icons/frown.gif
Anyway I will try them and post some pics how they flex. Skoda coils are about 10cm longer.
I will try also coils at front but now I have too much to do Tracker motor/tranny/t-case + SJ413 t-case swap to my LWB.

Re: Need Pic\'s of Coil Setup\'s...

Tessal

thats different i would have never of thought of that
hows it holding up?

RUN IN TO YOU LATER ,and yes if you dont no it buy now i cant spell LOL!

 

Re: Need Pic\'s of Coil Setup\'s...

I think i may lean towards the four ling setup that uses tractor tie bars as links. Much like the setup the billtooly (I beleave that's his name) uses. But i am still trying to think of what springs to use. I am not going to be using a sammy body on it, i will be fabbing my own, so it's gonna be lighter in the front and rear. SO i don't want a spring thats too stiff. Heep coils seem like they would be way too stiff.
