Thread: Suspension Issues/Fun

The standard retaining plate for the coils are to thin. By the looks of your coil it is thick wire and when retained would put a lot of strain on the retainers. I think you need a lighter weight coil so it will open up easier and fit heavy duty retaining plates

I'm fairly certain that we were working independantly on parralell lines Serg, as I don't recall posting anything very specific about my solution because its very difficult to describe the orientation without pics or drawings.

Well Bill, I do give you 95% credit and me 5% for making them...It was postings by you describing your findings and the D2 set up that was in my mind when I made them...Thanks

OK, I will climb overs the neighbours fence and dodge the rather happy but woofy Lab and try and get a sneaky peek at there D2

So the Terra Firma shock mounts that use Pin types are no good? Like this

Not that I would get that specific make, just an example. These seem to relocate the top pin slightly aft wards.
