Coil over replacement in rear?

Just wanted to know if anyone out there has converted their rear leaf spring to a coil over system? I dont even know if it would make that big of a differance in handling. Any input would be cool. Cheers!

The answer is yes. Do an advanced search on "coilover" in the C3 forums. It's a fairly frequent topic. Search is your best friend when looking for answers.

Sorry for the large size. I made a new mounting bracket that is welded to the swingarm and a new upper mount but it is welded to the exact spot that the original had
