Couple of quick suspension questions

1. My bottom shock mount is about an inch forward of the top mount. Will rubber bushed shocks be ok with this or do i need to use rose joints?

2. I found a site last year when i was looking that sold coilovers and they would cost £120 delivered but i cant find it now Anyone know where i can get some around this price?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

That sounds an awful lot of offset to use on the shocks to me!! Are you sure the mounting brackets are in the right place??

Have you tried Great British Sportscars (or whatever they are called these days)??

If i move the bottom one back any further, the tie rod will hit it and if i move the top one forward, the shock will hit the top wishbone.

Stay away from zeemerride shocks lol, they are basically mini shockers with a sleeve over to take a spring seat - the rubber bushes aren't up to the job of taking the weight of the car they simply give up!
