Rear Torsion Elimination.

[Shadowbug]

I'd reallu lie to ditch the front shock towere(balljoint) as thay foull on my rims without spacers.

In my case I will be beefing up the shock towers. All of them.

On the Manx with the Red9 front kit we will be connecting the shock towers with chromemoly tubing. From front to back the tubing will come just under the side sill and contain Nascar type side bars under the sidepods. The main side tube will continue on to the shock tower and also connect side to side. We do alot of tubing fabrication at work so this helps.

On the Convert I will be using an Aircooled.net CSP type rear braces combined with PowerTuning transmounts to tie everything together. We will see how stiff that is.

Thanks,

Randy

for the front
I wonder if I could use a hemispherical joint on the bottom of a coilover and relocate the top mount in a couple inches, worth a try.

Go to news-angebote and scroll al the way down to 'performance drehstabe'

It would eliminate the use of a 930 or uniball set-up...(?)
