replace leafs with coils?

[Butch]

We've ran a similar ladder bar style setup in circle track dirt cars before, as long as you leave adjustment in your bars and know what your doing with coilovers that setup is pretty versatile.

hmm I see.

my truck is just guna be more of a weekend cruiser, maybe track here and there. I haven't really decided how far I wana go with it yet as far as suspension set-up, but we'll see what happens

A member at FSC.com, wkdspd, was building a killer '93. He put it up for sale a while back. I don't know if he ever sold it or not. He was building it with a full-on corner-carving suspension. He had custom made coils up front and in the rear he modified a Ride Tech AirBar to run coilovers. I'm still mad at him for giving up on the project.

It was going to be a gorgeous truck when it was finished. It's a real shame.

it looks immaculate from those shots, and those are the hard places to get so damn sexy

It's not that hard to do when you start with a bare chassis and build up...

I guess it depends on if your building it to show or not.
Me and a buddy built a 4 link on my old S10.
It's not the prettiest, but we were just doing it to be a quick and easy install.
$200.00 and 6 hours later I drove it home, and it drove way better than it did with the mono leafs and blocks.

I can't remember the details, but the had to modify the AirBar a bit for the coilovers.
