In the future im looking to replace the koni suspension on my 3dr.

And the question i have is ....do you have to strengthen the rear turrets
on a 3dr to be able to cope with coilover suspension?

It is advisable to strenghten the rear turrets on 3 Doors and early Saffys when fitting coilovers,A fairly simple "L" shaped strap on the inside of the turret to the boot floor will help to stiffen it and i would always fit a rear strut brace as well.....

As said above,how many cosworths are running without that modification though?I bet we would all be shocked!

Well i do want to do it properly if im going to do it.

Has anyone had coilovers on there car here? and what did you think of them over your uprated konis or spax?

is this the case with 4x4's too (late saff)

may be getting a rear brace soon, will totally ruin the useability of the boot though

gingeRS

anyone know if 4x4 are diffo?

I ran AVOs with no mods to the turrets etc on my 3dr.

i got coil overs on my 3 door, done about 2k imiles and its fine.

but having a cage fitted and they gonna weld a bar between the 2 rear turrets

i would say get a brace fitted mate ,better to be safe than sorry.
I lost a front strut accordin to some peeps becouse of the uprated shox suspension putting extra pressure on them
