Suspension upgrade

Hi,

have an 87 and looking to upgrade the suspension to coilovers. I have yet to find anyone that has done this before. Doug Rippie has a kit for 89 and up but nothing for earlier models.

Does anyone have any experience in this or know where to find more info?

Any help is appreciated

thanks

Have a dumb question; how do you search for threads from August?

Just click on the search button and all threads, even older ones will come up.

You may want to contact LD85 as he may have some input on putting coilovers on an early model. He did it to his '85.

Check out Van Steel. Their rear lower mount is awesome and second to none. I just happened to have stopped by their shop today and I took a look at that lower mount. Very beefy. Great guys too!
