Coil overs shocks,

are these like a modern ride? my ride is good in the swift but nothing on the van.

i have springs and i like them in the red van. but i would like to try something else for the swift mini.

has any one used these or using them?

what are the good kits to go for?

as far as welding in new brackets to re enforce them is that the only mod?

do you still keep the rubber dounuts?

i may even go springs again they are very cheap set up & worked great.

thanks.

Ive got a set of avo dual adjustables if you want to chuck them on the front of it and see how they go. The rears mean you have to modify the mounting point. And i dont think theyve got springs.

Ok Joe pop over we will Sus it out.

Are they meant to be a softer ride??

Or more a racing type thing.

You can set them up either way. But theyre mainly used for racing because theyre easy to adjust.
Fronts youve got to take the damper, hilo, donut out and bolt the coilover in where the damper was and go from there with regards to adjustment.
Im pretty sure the springs on them came off the rear of a normal mini, so theyd be really soft.

Cool. Easy to do that in the swift as everything is cut away

It's very easy to access everything..
