Default Re: My XB Coupe RestoMod

Well, this project has just kicked off now as I’ve just ordered the following for the car & they should be here in a few weeks so I now need to pull my finger out & start stripping the car down to allow me to fit them…. So what goodies have I ordered, lets see…

For the rear I’ll be ripping out the old leaf spring setup & installing:

RRS 3 link rear end setup
35 spline axles
Watts linkage frame assembly
Coil over shocks
Trailing arms
Torque arm
315mm slotted rotors
Mini 6 piston calipers

The front end will be getting:

Coil over struts
RRS knuckle Spindles
330mm slotted rotors
6 piston calipers
RRS reinforced lower control arms
RRS Power rack & pinion kit
RRS high performance steering pump
RRS Strut rod adjuster kit
RRS tie rod adjuster kit
Shock tower notching kit (will give an extra 5” space per side)
Shock tower strut brace kit

This should keep me busy for most of the winter in the skunk works garage, Now to go on the hunt for some 17’ wheels that I like to fit over the brakes that I have just bought…
