Custom Coil Overs

I have seen a few posts on coil overs... and I find it interesting because I have tired several on the market and I found them all to be unacceptable for what I wanted... So I built my own. I wanted adjustability that just couldn't be had with the way springs are mounted in the current systems... I can put my tubular frame on the ground if I chose so with this.

By who? I haven’t seen anyone build an aluminum caster camber plate that can house the spring itself. Let alone be strong enough. You can’t just weld aluminum all the way around and use it as a spring perch. The two pieces need to be machined so that they fit structurally together… and you don’t destroy your heat treatment. I did require that I cut the fender for clearance around the spring... hence the reinforcement plate.
