What diameter tube are you planning on using? 4" seems popular, but ive found some 3 1/4" OD tube, would result in less modification to the tank. 1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER |

I agree graham, ive got the coilovers fitted on my car at the moment and they just clear the arch, so im tempted to not to turret them. 1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER |

Kad have told me to do it and spin the shock absorbers round, so that the offset at the top is the other way round, which will give me a better shocker angle What makes it better? The arc of standard radius arms is at 90° to the offset that would give, with McPhearson struts or double wishbones I can see the thinking, but with radius arms..? www.topcatcustom.co.uk |

it does make sense, the damper will lean over at the top slightly, and if you had any sort of negative camber it would then put the top and bottom mount on a similar axis/plain of movement. thats how i understand it anyway.
