recomendations- rear suspension changes
Jumpy Guy - 8/11/06 at 11:23 AM

After nearly completing my car, i have resigned myself to not doing SVA until next april or so..

so, that gives me a few months to modify the worst part of my car. I bought mine with a part built chassis, so i have inherited a rear end which is essentially the complete sierra rear end.
So, its ugly, and way, way too heavy.

Common wisdom says convert to de Dion.
But, I dont have the space, or the tools to do this myself, not to mention the additional time.

So, anyone know which companies could do this? any recomendations?

can you post a piccie of what you have now?

There's a company I have in mind but anybody would want to see what the state of it is now before saying yay or nay.

I was going to suggest NS Dev & MikeR, then Mike could use it as practice for when he does his!!

Sorry Mike.

heh heh lol

Would love to do it myself but I am stacked out with, unfortunately my own and therefore non-paying, work at the mo.

Worth a chat with Matt at procomp though, he may or may not be interested but will do a good job.

Isn't that a holiday let in France?

so, getting back to the subject ;-)

Procomp? you used them before?

recomended?

I haven't used procomp for chassis work no, but recommended, yes!!!

They prep and run a number of the better 750mc cars, and know their stuff. There is no bullcrap there either.

prices will be resonable, but not "cheap", i.e. you get what you pay for, they don't make much money on kit car stuff, but then they don't mass produce either.

Give them a call and see what they say.

PS just u2u matt from procomp "procomp" on here
