    Coilover county

    Out of curiosity has anyone or anyone they know put coilovers under there county's or defenders ? If so is there any pics,info,links or suggestions on this ?
    In the future i will not be replacing my suspension with shock and coils again but something more custom and capable hence why I have been investigating coilovers!

    Ps:when I said more capable I am not saying coils/shocks are bad by any means!

    On the front the RAs severely limit travel. So no point fitting coilovers unless you have custom suspension links.

    On the rear, they will take up a lot of load space.

    This is true! But it can be improved on even though it is one of the best around. I'll dig up a thread if I can find it.

    The body is a 110 and the purpose is hopefully off road racing but I'm still in first stages at the moment and this won't be for awhile yet of course!

    you have 2 options, do it right the first time, which will take longer to get it running, but cost less and be better in the long run. By off road racing do you mean class 8 high speed stuff or winch callenge type stuff?

    Thanks for the tips uninformed well unfortunately I recently decided to put a basic setup in consisting of the longest rachos available (I know everyone hates them but they will do for a "little" bit) i then realized there is so many Nissan patrols out there in comps and I am interested in that so why can't a landy be in well I am leaning more towards the faster stuff and not too interested in winching and mud...there is a lot of drivetrain components that need looking at for this type of stuff too as everyone already can imagine
