we got a ford focus coil over kit off ebay for $40. it has adjustable perches and the narrower springs. A guy in a local club has aready used this set up on a street car.
I am hoping the spring rate is Ok. if not we can swap out the spring for HD ones ( it looks like s set of e34 rears will fit) . But the narrower spring should let us slot the towers and get some camber.
NOTE: I just pulled apart a set of front struts.. Well the inserts out of the front suspension tubes. They go All the way to the bottom So I dont know how good an idea of Bending them will be, Since you would also be bending the Strut itself.
So it looks like the upper mounts- slotting is the answer?
We should have the car drivable in 2 weeks and take it to an autox to test suspension and how the car turns.
As far as Cages go We found a lical shop that custom bend us the cage and pre cut and notched it for $300.
It did still need some trimming and more notching. But we were able to get it in and done in 7 hours.
