Guest jens Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Is it possible to do more than coilovers. Im thinking cutting them in the bottom under the shock and move the upper part + shocktower 1.5" or is the shock to long to do this?.

johnc Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I'm not clear on what you're cutting and moving. Are you talking about the front or rear struts (or both)? If you're talking about the front, the whole strut and spindle are essentially one unit and its important to retain the geometric relationship between strut top mount, lower control arm mount, and the ball joint/steering arm. You might be able to put a small curve in the strut tube but then getting the shock inside would be tough. FYI... the shock fills up most of the length of the strut tube. If you're talking about the rear, again you need to retain the geometric relationship but you don't have steering to worry about. In either case you're talking about a significant redesign of a critical part of the suspension. How wide a tire do you want to fit? BTW... I'm moving this topic to the Suspension section.
