CoiloverConversion Help

[VTSBRO]

Hi all,

I have trawled through hours of threads on coilover conversions, but can't see a definate answer, so can anyone tell me if the Rally Designs conversion kit is a straight fit with the standard top mount?

Also, I have Bilstein group N's (Blue cap), so what spring free length do I need.

Car is a VTS being used for tarmac rally, so fitting 225lb springs.

Cheers

You will need solid top mounts (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-suspension/bushes-mounts/citroen-saxo-kam-racing-solid-top-mount-set.html) for the rally design kit

That's an interesting read - thanks.

So, Kev, if I fit your solid top mount with the Rally Design kit, will I need to modify it to fit with the Bilstein Grp N's or is it a straight fit?

Does this sound right for my use as a starting point??
7" 2.5 spring 200lb
4" 2.5 helper spring 40lb

I've never seen the Rally design kit but I dont see why there would be an issue.

I run a similar setup, you need to machine the top spring pan that you get from Rally Design.

Have you got standard top mounts or have you got solid ones?

I used the rally design components when I made mine. I use the 10.5 springs @ 200lb. All I had to do is drill out the top seat to fit over the damper and all fitted well.

Compbrake topmounts with Bilstien Gpr N dampners. The hole in the top spring pan was only 10mm (off the top of my head)

Are you using a solid top mount because you have to with grp n's?

What do you use your car for?

Mainly trackdays and taking the dog for a walk :)

I dont think you have to use the Solid top with Gpn's but someone with more knowledge might be able to tell you otherwise.

Ok cheers.

How fast does your dog walk if you need a track car to keep up :wacko:
