Default beams and coilovers

so over winter I want to add a 6 degree rear beam and replace the tired and worn koni setup! I know anembo make a beam but anyone else out there? (been out of cosworths 12 years so out of touch) and is koni/Ahmed still the best for road use or is there a decent set of coilovers out there these days?

Ive heard mixed veiws on 6dec beams....some have even gone back to o/e as the ride was to harsh, made it to twitchy....but everyone's preferences differ....

Id always thought things like this are for the racer or rally goers, mine sees the road only and runs some Avo evo coilovers which for me running standard ride hight and 15" wheels is fine.

I think there was a topic a while ago on here about this very subject.....I'm sure folks on here will chip in

poorly fitted and aligned then and wrong coil over spec will ruin what can only be discribed as the best mod you can do to a Cossie.

Is that to both 2wd & 4wd....??

Would it benefit my Miss Daisy speeds...??

The chap i spoke to had driven one and then did it to his but the difference he had experieexperienced were like chalk and cheese.
As you say Mark make,set up and parts used will no doubt effect the outcome.

Its the same design problem on both that it fixes and helps with traction more on 2wd as more power going to the back.

What a messer you turned out to be, saved the coilovers for you set aside time to meet you loaded up and guess what FUCK ALL BIG BLANK I really dont get people like you advertised and sold within an hour to a decent lad that drove straight down near two hours the difference between genuine buyers and messers grow some balls and at least answer your phone if you do buisness with people wierd man
