Alrighty!

I need to know about turreting the rear suspension on a RS Turbo. The pishy trailing arms on the rear don't cut it. I knwo this has been done before, and it was one of my fellow jocks that had it done (no names incase it a, ssshhhhhhhh, secret)

What lower setup would you use? What car would you butcher for the top assembly? How much would it cost? Hmmmmm. I wanna run coilovers all round, and basically have summit better cos the back it well twitchy under braking!

Any help is good help!

 

buy some prefabbed turrents.

Fit coilovers, use existing wishbone.

or if you want to do it properly fabricate new tie bars for everything.

Rose joint everything.

and make everything adjustable.

 

This option I like! Where can I get prefabbed turrets from?

 

most rally fabrication places will have these, you might be lucky and able to obtain mk3\mk4 from gartrac themselves, otherwise i would say get some bog standard turrets i.e mk2 escort ones and customise them to fit

 

Yeah, cos I could use whatever top mounts I wanted on a coilover? What about strut length and spring rates..... Hmmmmm. Comlictaed shit!

 

thats when you have to start knowing exactly what your doing.

the fabricating bit is the easiest bit, but choosing the rite poundage, and setting the toe in/out, camber etc etc is a complicated job

 

Speak to Tony NUTRUS if I am right he does this conversion sort of off the shelf for a price I think is more than resonable.
