Fitting adjustable Coilovers like GAZ or AVO
I have looked for a adjustable suspension kit for our Rallyecar some weeks ago.
Now im interessting in a kit for my roadcar, and at all manufactors was told me i have to reinforce the rear suspension mounts.
I have allready searched here and asked some manufaktors, but nobody could tell me how it shud be maked.
Have anybody here done this and can me tell how?
Pictures will be nice...

I believe if the body work is in good condition it is not required.
Unless maybe you are going to have the back full of people and a boot full of stuff then the loadings on the rear would maybe be excessive.
Personally i've not bothered.

Defo put on a rear brace.
I had coilovers on a sierra and towed, pulling rangers etc with boot full and four adults and did this on/off for three years, never had a problem, I have not bothered on my cos either.

the group a rallycars do have often reinforced struts, (sometimes to accomodate total different kinds of suspension, or having extra metal sheets welded around/over it. ) in heavyduty use it could start to show cracks around the turret due metalfatique. Dough it wouldn't bother either. just in case, put in a strutbrace. Seen a sierra running down tracksdays for over 10years now, without reinforcements, just a strutbrace. And it doesn't show any cracks whatsoever.
