Rear Coil Over Suspension Pictures
So one of the projects I was not able to afford to due in the past was upgrading the rear suspension to coil overs. Since I had the opportunity to make the improvements, I went forward with it. This was designed by one of the technicians at Cambra Speed. He designed an adjustable link system that will give me a choice of 3 positions for the height of the shock mounting, and 3 positions to set the angle of the shocks. Doug Norrdin at Global West recommended keeping the shock angles at no more than 15 degrees, so that was designed into the system. I purchased QA1 double adjustable shocks for the rear to match the front coil over set up. Spring rates in the front are 600 lbs., rears are 200 lbs. A rear crossmember was welded into the frame to mount the coil over system for added strength.
