Default coil overs ?

Does anybody use a coil over system in addition to their leaf ? It does not seem like it would be hard to fab(at least in my head !) If anyone does wwhere did you buy and do you have any pic.s you would post.

Its a replacement, not an addition. Search the tech section for the past few weeks. There's a big discussion on swapping to coilovers and an article about the doug rippie posted. Costs about $1500 to do.

You can use leaf spring in addition to coilover. Callaway LM cars were setup this way, also some speedvision cup C-4s and C-5s run this setup where classes permit. You will have a very stiff ride, probably not good for the street but it will be one helluva handler.
