the drm coil overs are very simple. they machine a c clip groove into the shock housing and add alum "hats" and a coil spring over the stock fx3


I talked to Dave M. about coil over and if you bang over curbs at the track you are likely to crack the shock towers. The racers would cut a shock tower out of another car and weld it in to double up.


But on the street its not an issue and my ccws will bend long before the shock towers crack (ask me how I know) Durability is quite good.


don't get too greedy on spring rates and big rims or it will ride like an old 84 z51 and knock your fillings out and slam your head into the top on whoop do dos (again ask me how I know)


Once I got "reasonable" and went back to 18s with a non run flat tire and softer springs (425 up front 275 in back) car rides GREAT and sticks like glue


I also tossed the banski rods in there to replace the stock dog bones on the rear tie rods and stuff too. Freed up the suspension and really made the car less skiddish around bumpy corners. Really like it now, much more "planted" feeling and I'm more confident pushing harder.


The old LSV has seen some hard miles and will see alot more of them lord be willing
