coilover kit in rear anybody have it
Hmm, no pics, but I'm currently using Afcoil 5x8x300 (bling!) yellow race springs in the rear, sitting on Allstar 56119 weight-jackers. Effectively it looks like the pictures in these links (courtesy of Jon Aadland), except I left the upper spring mount installed. The first pic is comparing his used Ground Control setup to the new setup.

Springs are a bit stiffer in the rear because we've both lowered our PHB. What condition are you trying to solve by using coilovers? I would say they're not worth the coin or time unless you know you'll need to use the adjustability, setting corner weights, etc.

no problem's with my car, just wondering if they work and if there's any weight savings to be had..what you have is not what i saw which was a coilover shock and spring together mounted right to the rear end like a pro street car with a 4 link or ladder bar set-up..saw a few kits on e-bay in 500.00 plus price range..thanks

I'd like to get those QA-1's. have a nice low stance at the track then pop it up a tad on the street. Probably come in handy for a car with a body kit or big exhaust tubing.

AFA the weight savings, they were lighter for about 1 pound for what is shown above, which is mostly due to the different spring used.

Verdad Gallardo no reason for spring and shock together ...up until this thread i never knew there was such a kit as your's, only the basic coil and spring combo together as i stated above..yes full control of ride height from either system would suit my needs..thanks for all the help guys
