The knowledge is very spread out, From what I have researched and found is most people cut out the top and weld in a bracket to use eyelet coil overs
http://static.speedwaymotors.com/RS/SR/Product/2131525_L.jpg Like this pictureThey use
350lb springs.
Since the
luv springs are eye let on the bottom and stud on top most people have problems directly adding some in.
I haven't done it myself but I want wondering if someone could use these
conversions on the eyelet on top to convert to stud on top.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/exp-690002/overview/I have also looked into cheaper options for coil overs, Q1A seems to be the go-to for most people. Ebay has some knock off cheapy that may or may not work
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Quality-Street-Rod-Rear-Coil-Over-Shock-Set-w-350-Pound-Springs-Black-Coated-/360810884460?hash=item5402012d6c&vxp=mtrLike those. Would of course need the eyelet conversion.
Viking performance is also another brand I have heard good things about and has some cheaper options, (Order through their catalog or website for cheapest options.
Does anybody have anything to add to this?
This is as far as I have gotten on research wise (i'm lazy) My only question is, what lengths should we aim for? and we have to add the extra inch or so of the conversion if we go that route.
