hey

planin to do quick cheapy rear end setup just for now
heard you can use.. xe-xf springs and cut 2-3 coils off and use them for your rear in ae86
do you use the front or rear of the Ford springs ?
also, cuttin 2-3 coils will that suit my sirriera shocks, short stroke for rear ae86..

thanks heaps

you use the rear springs, and from memory you almost end up cutting them in half, but start with 2 or 3 coils put em in check it and keep going till u get em right.
remember you car will need to be fairly low to accomodate those shocks

200mm free height to suit sierra shocks, any higher and they hold shocks at full extension. works out to be around 6kg/mm

used this set up in my old ke70
