coil overs on a 3rd gen?

Ok, I finall understand how the from suspension on a 3rd is setup and everything. IT does not look like you could convert it is coil overs with a build on kit.

Have you seen a 3rd gen with coil overs?


thanks for you help.:hail: :hail: :hail:

They exist and I've seen them on an actual GTA in person. It belongs to Steve (TTA850). Do a member search or find him most often in the Power Adder board to get more info on them. All I know is that they take a decent amount of weight off the front end. Have fun.

I have the art morrison coilover setup. I'm selling it. New, installed on car to be able to push it around. Will sell for $600.00. That is over a $200.00 savings. Email me if you are interested.

So basically, it's in the stock location yes, but it's not attached the actory way. You see there's a plate welded up in there to accept the coil over.
