Do any of you have a recommendation for coil/over shocks for the front of my GTII? I went completely through the front beam, ball joints, tie rods, etc. when I built the car and I just DO NOT want to go through the trouble of installing an adjustable beam.
The passenger side tie rod will bump the inside fender well glass if a bump in the road is fairly severe. It has hit hard enough to put a very small bend in the tie rod.
Any comments on your ideas or use of coil/overs will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg, Great looking GT-2.

I am using a king pin front and it is also low, but the rear torsion assembley was removed from a dune buggy and the torsion bars are set all the way up, so I'm going to need someone to reset them lower.

yeah, that blue looks awesome! Hey Greg, I don't mean to derail the thread, but just wondering if you have a thread on how you modified your above head windows? if not, could you post some pictures/explanations here, bradleygt.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1425 ?

Thanks

Thanks,
Will do on the toe. The tie rod is just very slightly bent and the coil/over EMPI shocks brought the front up about 1" at the lowest setting and there is an adjuster that will let me go three step higher if I ever need to.
