Still need to know how the coilover kit will be fitting to the rear of the car? i.e. link points etc etc as there is no way you can get a bolt-on kit made, turrets would need strengthening and chassis would need some plates etc. info pleeeeaaasssee

I'm looking to supply a kit, that will fit as OE rear struts would, if You want/need to strenghten turrets etc. I can't supply that..

I am into both!

if you need coil overs then it is likely that you will be driving in a fashion that it is more "aggressive" than normal, in which case I don't recommend fitting them without major strengthening. Just my opinion of course..... but standard 300 rear mounting points will tear eventually as they were only designed for damping force not full weight of the car and associated spring force.

I'll second that - the arches are not structural - you bolt coilovers in there without reinforcement and bad things will eventually happen to your car, and very possibly to you too

Unless You go mad with spring rates coilovers will be o.k
I'm not saying reinforcement of these areas is not neccesary if You "track" the car or "drive it like You stole it!..

There's another way to drive it?

But seriously, having a coilover punch it's way through your rear arch whilst on the motorway is not a risk I'd ever be wiling to take

If you aren't going to drive the car harder or expect better performance then why would you buy £600+ worth of coilovers?? either way, I'm still interested to see what geometry is going to be like for the rears. - don't suppose I'd get the fronts free if I donated my struts for the development?

Supplier for coiovers can do one kit, inc.springs for about £200/corner, £400 for set of old struts...??

Price , I qouted will be for 5 or more kits..

Engine mounts arrived!!

..price for first 5 sets is around £220 all in, if more people are interested price will go down. To be tested..(when new IC finally arrives

Are those hydraulic? Very interested! Looks great!

Vibra technics ones? A Rally&Race shop nearby sells Vibratechnics stuff too. Same place where I bought the spax springs..

Rubber, grade 70, chemically bonded to alloy (same as used on competition Coswort mount), specially machined alloy casing

any one reckon that would fit the 340?

Post by **Chris_C** » 20 Jul 2008 11:27 am

Even if they phydsically fit Kaos, the 360 mounts are ment to be permanently in tension, not compression, so doubt they'd do the required damping!
