I'm just wondering what setup people have in there cars, I've looked through the forum but have not seen setups with coilovers, etc untubbed, just full rear clips, I'm curious to see how far you can go with the susspention without cutting the car up as I'm almost up to buying all my susspention components.

This doesn't exclude front setup but it's pretty self explaitory there apart from a new fabricated crossmember.

I just beefed up what's already there. Tubular adjustable trailing arms, adjustable Spax shocks, big springs in the standard position, can't remember what they are, big fat sway bar and a panhard rod. A V8 chassis kit to reduce the body flexing. i want to eventually get some tubular upper and lower control arms, the same Spax shocks as the rear, big fat sway bar, big springs, a V8 cross member kit. I'm going to try to get a bit of weight out of the front cross member and may have a look at some stub stiffiners. I'll also have to drill out the upper control arm mounting points one inch lower same as the XU1. That's about it.

Cheers for that, more so looking to see how far you can take the susspenion with the factory pickup points with the exception of coil overs.

What times have you run?, I'm guessing you have a Duggan headed holden 6 by your name.

Most cars will get away with stockish springs/shocks & adjustable rear trailing arms...depends on what rear tyres used & power level car is at then decide how far you want to go.

 

Most can crack 11's with basic setups & 235/60 tyre
