[QUOTE="RustyC, post: 389480, member: 1997"] [b]Re: Coil overs or not ?[/b] I agree that coilovers will not fix bad suspension geometry. But they can be tuned to help. Kind of like treating a symptom and not a disease. Mounting the shocks angled in at the top is so that when the one corner is a full bump and the opposite corner is drooped out the shock has not past 90*. Right where the shock hits 91* the shock looses its ability to be effective. Hard for me to explain but very obvious if I can find a picture or two. Getting the correct springs and setting the dual rate slider stop in the right spot will help a ton. The chassis will work off both springs until the slider hits the stop, at this point the suspension will stiffen and feel more stable. In these pictures below, if the upper mounts were further inward it would help. [/QUOTE]
