Coil overs to suit AU w/ IRS

Hi Ride,
We have been thinking about this for a while. If you can supply and old rear damper with the top mount we will start on some drawings and have a sample set made for tuning and development. The top mount in the rear is VERY soft and so would prefer to make a new top mount to give better control for small rod displacements.
Cheers
Brett

I've had a crack at re-inventing the wheel, so to speak...

There's around 10-12 out there with no complaints so far.
I've had mine on for at least 20,000k's now and all is good.

As the first thread shows, we did have a few minor hic-ups, but they've been sorted.

I haven't finalised the adjustable version in the second thread yet, time has been a bit limited lately.

Don't have any old dampers around, I can source a second hand pair from a wreckers or the like?

Mounts I have (are in very good condition), could send those down too but would like them back.

Any idea on rough price?

The full AU kit will be $2000 including top mounts, springs and adjustable dampers.
We would like to send the rear top mounts to the team in Korea due to the angle of the mount and will do the damper drawings in Australia. We will return the rear mounts when they finish the design and get it back to you. When you have time email me at brett.obrien@shockworks.com.au to get things started. I will be back in Australia after I finish testing the stock cars and some other teams I am supporting here.
Cheers
