rear coil overs

hey guys.

i was wondering who is running rear coil overs with a lowered stance? i am having a heck of a time with my set up.. i am runing the longer panard bar on the bottom and it will be in the way of the coil overs.. so i made a bracket so its out of the way but now i can not fit as large a tire in back so its a compromise.. if any of you have pictures please post. need ideas

also will the longer panard bar give me that much better drivability? i am building to drag race so i need it to be abley to handle the high speed.

Re: rear coil overs

You need to cut that thing off and use something like this. I have coilovers and used race car brackets for the mounts to the axle and the panhard bar.

Re: rear coil overs

you could always relocate the panhard bar in front of the axel or dump the panhard and go with a watts linkage
