ggzilla Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Why wouldn't you? Even 510s with rear coilovers use the stock mounting locations. Quote Link to comment

hosestop@msn.com Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hey Troy are the spring perches in the upper part of body , under back seat ,(from donor car re-welded in wag.) if not we have to use coil over on shocks and will need a stout shock mount with cross bar and you will have to build in car near back seat area , I need to come and see this thing , and need to get drivable here soon just no time lately .

jrock4224 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 go look at y wagon thread ... im bagging mine but i am using the stock rear inner fenders in my wagon 1 Quote Link to comment
Three B's Racing Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Coil overs fersure!!! But I'd make sure that you're ride height doesn't create lots of half shaft angularity otherwise you'll then have vibration from the universals transmitting through the car. Try and get those half shafts as parallel to the ground as you can. 1 Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 http://community.ratsun.net/topic/39556-projekt1972-wagon/ start inthe back when i decided to ditch the links and solid axle and swap to a irs ....you wont be able to use the stock irs spring mounts onthe upper side with out major modification ... coilovers are a good option but require major work to get to work you can see the black outline where i cut into the frame to make room for the shock tower ... i didnt tak as much as shown cause i wont be going coilovers and instead will only use this for a shock and im gonna be running single bellow bags..... the guy who used the leaf spring was pretty cool ... i havent heard how it works now this much later coilovers will be hard to make factory looking on a wagon ... ..my route will ... but i have to build a inner structure as i removed alot of the unibody frame rail ... as well as the area where the control arm travels up into the car ... its not very roomy for what i have planned 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't get why the diff is mounted so low. Extreme axle angle. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 i have mine as high in the car as possible with basically same as a sedan and prolly didn't even need this hole to be this big 1 Quote Link to comment
