Hello Norval, I read your older posts on your rear suspension design/fabrication/test and you mentioned that they bottomed out! And, I think you were using a 450# spring at that time. I never saw that you made any followup comments on that. That's why I mentioned above that the spring is located at approx half the distance from the original mounting location and it seems that you need more spring.
I bought springs in 250,300,350, 400 and 450 for testing. I started with the 250's and found they bottomed. I progressed upward until I went with the 450 's and liked them but they were 12 inches long. I then bought another pair of 450's but 10 inches long. Those I like and still run today.
I like soft springs and big bars. I do run a 1 1/4 inch rear sway bar some times.
What about the sway bar and brake cable mountings? Are they set up for stock installation? What is the target production date and how big is the waiting list?
The sway bar holes and PB brackets will be on there just like the standard offsets. We are hopping to take delivery by the 10th of Sept. and there is 8 people on the list so far.

Norval, as you may remember, I stated to you before that I would like to install coil overs on the rear of my car. How stout did you make the shock mounts? And is there a landmark on my current TAs that I could use to locate the lower mount? If I remember right the upper mount was just reinforced in its current location.
Thanks,
Mark
