You will need more than the useless rear shock bushing brace if you go with a coilover setup on the rear shocks.
you could groove the rear shocks and run compression rings for coilover sleeves. That is what I run on my Cobra in the rear. With a stiff rear sway bar and coilovers you could punch right through the upper shockmount. You would at least need delrin upper bushings and possibly weld or bolt on a steel plate for reinforcement. |

eye-to-eye shocks can be modified to accept spring perches :) if my Ksport perches don't work out that'll be my next step.

My idea is similar i think, i thought about simply welding on a collar to set the spring perch on.

however, Gordon at koni does not recommend doing this, as the outer shell of most shocks is not thick enough to withstand grooving/welding unless already equipped in such a way.

Pages 4-7 deal with the grooved shock body and the spirolock ring that hold on the coilover sleeve. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/co...p/MMCO-4r6.pdf |

It is an easy process to groove the shock bodies though. |

Yea.. the shock mount might need to be boxed in completely. If I was going this route, that is what I would do. |

what do you guys think of using these? you can select rate, but probably cant adjust height though. I think i measured the rear spring to be 5 1/2" in diameter.
http://www.dansracingsupply.com/AFCO.htm http://www.afabcorp.com/AFCO_Dynatec...t_Conventional So if you can figure out what spring will allow you to have a decent height, and then you can get collars for the front, you are good to go. you wont have rear height adjustability, but you could use a good strong rate.

Gordon at koni said 9" would be good for my setup, and i'd imagine that a 9" travel shock would work for y'all in the back as well
