is anyone else haveing probs with the rear coilover springs fouling the body?? any mod tips of getting round this would be great,but i dont really want to use a big hammer,any help please

 

There seems to be quite a few having this problem lately, i brought mine about 4 years ago and mine have been fine, think they may have changed them since then, then again, mine was running adjustable rear arms so whether this had anything to do with it, i dont know!

 

Had the turrets cut out and bigger stronger ones welded into mine, with rst's having an inboard spring design it's hardly surprising they don't fit properly tbh.

 

any pics of your turrets fella,please

 

I'll take a couple and post em up mate, haven't got any on the computer!

 

cheers that would be a great help

 

any pics yet mate

 

Sorry mate, i'll get the camera out tomoro when i get the car out the garage and take a couple of pics for ya

 

cheers fella

 

Right, here you are mate, haven't had the inside of the car painted yet so looks a bit rough but you get the idea, no clearance issues now and should be plenty strong enough :

 

pics no worky

 

Strange....i can see em on my computer, taken from photobucket as per usual!

 

Yeah it says Image has been moved or deleted!?

 

Mmm wonder why that is?? Never had a problem before....i'll put them up again:

 

how thick is the steel you used?? and is it just bolted at the top with no rubber bushes? which coilovers do you use? cheers

 

Bolted the same way as you do with the original shocks using the rubber bushes (well vibratechnics ones), Gaz golds i'm running. I didn't weld the struts in personally so can't comment on exactly what meal was used, looks fairly substantial though, certainly thicker than the original.

 

Nice job!

 

Is that Dans handy work Dave? looks different from when i last saw it and i did hear he was cutting the crap outta your rst lol
looks like a top job altough i'd expect nothing less from him

 

Yeah dan lopped the top off them for me and redid the bars a neater way while he was at it! Typical, if i'd known he'd have done them in the first place! Good lad is Dan
