how ae85/86 suspension should be

[msv madness]

as above realy the pics speak for themselves, no bullshit taiwanese shit here,
koni shocks even length arms and watts linkage

[eritate]

haha $&#$% yer

thats $&#$% cool


Good work

Btw what Diff is that ? hilux ?

[msv madness]

yip it sure is hilux diff and 17 x 9.5s on the rear

[Akane]

What's wrong with the "taiwanese shit"?

[msv madness]

you said it yourself its shit

[Akane]

BC's are made in taiwan, and they're quite decent.

[johntramp]

BC are nothing compared to the likes of apexi

Any reason why you have mounted the watts link to the diff housing? I would have thought that would screw with your cornering geometry

[Mr Revhead]

a who?

koni, bilstein, proflex, drummond.. now THEY are suspension companies to drool over

[toyae86]

thats why the shocks are koni adjustables

but we wont mention the keepers hehe

it will be interesting to see how the new x5k king springs go

[Snoozin]

a who?

koni, bilstein, proflex, drummond.. now THEY are suspension companies to drool over

If ever catch you drooling on my suspension......

[Mr Revhead]

its ok, i ge tot work with proflex

theres not much point in mounting it to the chassis is there?
if its not mounted to the diff its not going to hold the diff in lateraly which is its only function

yeah they are decent suspension companys and you wont get 36 way adjustable this that and everything for 1200 will you haha
wats wrong with drooling on suspension?

I was probably asking more along the lines of why not have the link arms mounted to the diff nearer the shock mounts and the watts link pivot independent of the diff housing...each to their own I guess. Everyone has a theory and when it comes to suspension set up or geometry there are plenty of opinions.

Adjustment of settings or ability to adjust is your friend

My old mans rally car was setup like that, with the pivot on the diff. After shearing it off we decided to change it.
Build a tower down with different spaced holes and mount the arms to the diff. Like a V8 supercar.

regardless of which way it is setup it still has to have one central pivot point otherwise there is no movement of the arms at all

[Punter]

Yea the main reason we changed it is to make it adjustable.

[NZ_AE86]

All very pretty but is it tested? Have you got a decent LSD in that Diff?

[GH]

Dont bars in watt link need to be level to work?
