Flat 6 in the bus Split

I didn't want to cut the torsion tube either, but I did want to lose the torsionbars.

I have coilovers on my splitbus at all wheels. At rear with a rocker-system.
More about suspension at page 7 in my project topic at vdubheaven.com.

Skywalker, why the rocker system? I can't see the advantage of it in your application, but it does look cool!

I can see the advantage. I'm in the same dilemma. Lack of room, you can see that the joint that goes down to the stock shock mount is in an angle.
You couldn't mount the shock in that angle.

Hebster52 is right, there's not enough space for these coilovers to mount directly to the rear arms. The coilovers would simply rub against the IRS axle boots. A (small) advantage: there's less weight to the suspension.



@Steve, thanks. There's still some work to do tho.
