Khrony,

I have coilovers on my LB rally car. They are MCA/ Proflex built by Murray Coote. He recently built a number of sets for some replica African Safari cars. Pretty expensive but absolutely amazing and worth every cent.

You can buy coilover sleeve kits very cheap, just get someone to remove your stock spring landing and weld in the coil over kit. Have a dig through eBay and find the correct diameter for your struts. You may need to change ya stock struts for GH struts.

Yeah, adjustable tops are the go. Mine are running 260lb, after speaking to Cheater he thinks this should be spot on for hard road and a bit of track work. Here is a pic with the part number :) KPS042

What shocks are you running in your coilovers?

I put Sigma ones in mine and they fail to capture.

Hey Galant_GTO, the link you posted are for honda coil overs, was this just a generic link or will these ones suit GH scorpion struts???
Also if u bought one of these kits do they come with springs or do u have to buy those separatly like the king spring ones you have?

Rally_2.6LC, that was just a generic link, as different models have different diameter struts I figured it would give people an idea on price. If you measre the OD of your struts he might even have something that will fit. I bought mine already converted with no springs, thats why I have kings but the kits I linked do come with springs I think, but as they will be for a different car they will more than likely be too soft or the wrong length.

r20bear, I am running Monroe Sensortrack to suit VB-VP Commodore, they are stiffer than stock and a little shorter allowing you to lower it without bottoming out the insert.
