Would anyone know about the modifications required to the rear bodywork on a Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 to fit coilover's. I know the space is tight and only the slim shock absorber fits in a standard set up with the spring located in the middle of the trailing arm.

I would still like a standard interior, not roll cage set up etc, how much bracing would be needed to add strength to the top mounts and I can appreciate the top mounts need opened up to accommodate the coilover set up, and a strengthening beam fitted.

I'm looking for a great handling car and would like to know more about the 6 degree beam conversion and what stages that can be taken to.

 

you mayhave to tap back the inner arch but only slightly and all you need is a rear strut brace but this is not always needed

 

with rear coil overs the stress go's straight up the shock towers so you have to weld these for extra strength with a rear strut-brace the one that also bolts to the boot floor

 

A hammer and a strut brace mate is all thats needed on a road car..


cheers danny

 

i wouldn't chance one in my shell with out the 3 point strut brace tbh

 

+1!!

 

Non at all mate i have had them for about 4 years now with no probs at all and for about a year of that they were set so hard i had no rear suspention as untill i had my arches rolled it would rub really badly under swat!. Im rwd but same shell

 

where can i get this rear strutbrace that bolt to the floor?
