Those who are using coil overs in the rear which brand are you using? I'm looking for something inexpensive no bling. I've look around in catalogs but found a lot of expensive chromed out stuff. Any experience or suggestions? Thanks
i have Pete & Jake's vipers on the rear of my `28 tudor. cost about $300 at the time...about 15 years ago. i have no idea how much they are now
QA1 aluma-matics...they are aluminum and shiny but got them and the springs brand new for $350 shipped to my door. Seemed like the best deal I could find
got the same as 36-3window..but got em second hand un-used.. and 15 years later i got em for less than he did. cant tell you much about them, the build is in progress. But they sure look better then the mock up steel bars i had there for setting ride height
Was using SPAX English coil overs on my 30 A but they leaked. I am using SoCal Speed Shop dampers and the same spring that was on the SPAX units. They are great with the damping adjustment at mid way.
Lindblad Ch***is, Northbridge M***., $210 per pair tel. 508-234-8283 check their ad back pages of Street Rodder June 2010 (dumb ****s at SR don't number their pages at the back...) edited to add phone number
Got TCI painted shocks and black spring delivered for under $300 off ebay. Have not run them yet, but look and feel good mounted.
The QA1 units from speedway are actually carreras. mMake sure you order the right spring weight for your car. and also get the coilover thrust bearing kit, This will help in your setup, and adjustment later on. I have used the QA1 on a couple of cars and they dial in great. And after all they hold up the rear of your car, so don't skimp on quality.
Yup. Single adjustable for compression damping, so you can tune them. Rebuildable, so you don't have to shop again 5 years from now. Very good stuff.
