thanks for da reply Norbie!
"adjustability" might be too soft a word. I need to be able to make this car dance.
I have a spring rate and right height I want, but camber is an issue now.
Urethane bushings helped but there is still too much force-related lateral motion in it.
The current swaybar is the 22mm one, and I have 3 different durometers of puck to go in steps from soft to hard
There is little room for slotting the current spring dia., and have you priced "pillowball" type upper mounts lately?
The shock is set valve, but still being hydraulic, I can easy change the action with oil weights/viscosity types.
I've never been one for "plug and play" solutions - I find they are far too average. this car is being built as almost a purpose-track-racer with plates, since I care not for comfort or convenience, just performance (wel, i put a stereo in lol)
I know the VW Golf III kits will fit both thread collars and inserts, providing I shorten the strut tube, but I was looking for ideas relating to adapting a more advanced suspension system into the car
ALSO - the other main point is to bring in a modern BP/offset with big brakes!!!!!
a set of stock MkIV supra wheels (17") with the STOCK TT rotors/calipers would be such a huge improvement!
If I just use "tricks" to make my current setup ... better ... then I still have the 4x114 BP, and a huge RWD set to the wheels! If I change the hub and move the bolt-face further out, I get the offset to current (+30-ish) as well as the brake bonus.
Then I only run "adapters" to get the rear wheels to fit...
