You going to use the Koni threaded section? Theres a place in QLD selling them for about $200, good price that!.

I think we need to think about rear adjustable height platfoms - not coil overs, but platforms for the springs. This has been done or other cars.

The strut tops are an interesting thing. I reckon you can get enough Camber from Camber bolts, I think caster is more important to adjust at the top.

Rear toe adjustment would be nice....

A lower front brace would be a good thing too....

Hint, hint.....

:wink:

Ive bought a pair of adjustable seat nuts for $50 and the matter to be machine was $20

The adjustable strut plates which i am building atm allow 15mm movement any direction of centre this should be good i may even do a small production run

as for the rear im just thinking of 275lb/in standard diameter springs and leave the height adjustment up to the 4"

rear toe im sure you could modify a irs commo toe adj kit
