#106898 - 30/05/08 10:30 AM Coil Over SAS and Coil Over Rear
Anonymous

Hello all, Is there any one out there who has done a 100% custom long arm coil-over SAS? and also Custom long arm Coil over Rear end on the first gen X? I have a 2000 and have looked at all the kits and customs on here and other X forums, and still think that the X can do better than the Calmini kit. I like the coil-over idea, and the long arm but the cost is very prohibitive when you have a limited budget. I am planning to do my whole suspension 100% from scratch and wondered if anyone out there has done this with coil-overs all the way around.

PS: Props to all you Leaf SAS guys and gals!

The tank is in the way for a 4 link... there has been some track bar/3 link setups folks have dreamed about. I think the best way would be to use a Pathy fuel tank under the back and double triangulate something nice. However there are many ways to hack a suspension under a rig.

I did a 4 link in the rear last year and moved the tank from where it was to sit like a jeep tank , partially tucked up in the cargo area. While it took a little space out of the rear, it's working great and the flex that I have is incredible.

I'm doing a 3 ling long-arm sas right now and there are some challenges as I want to have more up-travel than is currently the case, but the coil overs up front and moving the axle further forward should help to resolve that.

Oh.. and the four link in the rear is double triangulated and it rocks.. I literally hit an obstacle last year where I was at full extension in the rear and had full contact nonetheless.
