Ok, here's the run down... I called Tonkins Automotive Engineering consultants this morning, I spoke of the upgrades that will be carried out. Struts can be interchanged here in SA, the parts have to be similar in fitment. There is no problems with using xt130 struts in a KE, as the top-hat can be changed to make the fitment. The lower spring seat can be taken off to fit another spring seat to allow for the correct spring to be fitted, this has to be done by a certified welder. Coil-overs can be used, and has been discussed with the senior at Regency a few months ago. The problem isn't with the coilover itself, the problem is with compliancy of height that the car has been reset to. I don't know about other states, but the total minimum of lowering the car can be to 100mm clearance from the lowest point on your floor pan to the ground. The bump travel of your suspenssion cannot be decreased more than 1/3 of the original travel. Caliper brackets have been passed for engineering so long as the sheer factor on the metal and design has been taken into account. I asked quite a few questions on the redesign of a dash in a KE, and I was advised that it is one of the hardest things to change and be passed, as the dash has to be ADR approved to take into account the dash be able to absorb energy from impact. So long as the new dash be redesigned on a standard dash of any other car it should be within ADR approval. This will be my new project to follow up on, it will be similar to the new Citroen Sbarro Picasso Cup car. [Report message to a moderator]
