hi guys I have road rally car vts wich does get pretty rough time,ive been thinking about maybe doing coilover conversion on bk but I thaught has anyone tried putting disk axle from c2 on saxo or it too narrow? reinforce floor to make it stronger to bolt axle on and put turrets in then for coilovers .what does every1 think? any advice would be great

Might want to check the regs, don't think there are many classes or race types that will let you change the suspension type.

I've checked with scuteneer he was willing for me to fit turrets and coilovers on original axle but was just wondering if it was possible or not

anything is possible

best bet is a satchell engineering kit, no shell mods bar a few holes to be driller, retains full travel of the standard trailing arms but far improved damping quality and much cheaper to change spring rates.

or just buy a C2.
