sure.. suspension wise it has
gaz golds 350/180
poly bushed all round (even the trailing arms which i didnt know at the time was a bad idea.)
std style diff mount but solid rubber all round from a rally spares place..
3door hubs
took the solid beam mounts off as was too noisy
215/35/18 paradas
the coilovers are only set a few clicks from soft . when i tried the rears stiffer it felt like it skipped about too much.. ive got other springs but are horrible compared to these and still had the same handeling problems at speed.. was 400/225 before. ive also got 600 front and 275 rear but these didnt even give any suspension travell at all and was horrible to drive.
i know everyone says that a beam will transform the handling but i cant see that all the other cossies out their with half descent power feel this unsafe just down to the std beam.
my mates escos can be held flat out on these same corners and feels awesome even when backing off mid corner where mine feels really unsettled.
