[QUOTE="bubblehead93, post: 14861431, member: 96609"] So I had started to post some of this under a Steeda K-member thread I started for a reason that only made sense to me at the time and somehow I can't remember the reason... As a result it did not have much traffic and also it would rob someone the ability to do a search for IRS coil-over drag racing setups and find it... I have hesitated for a long time to go coil-over for auto-x because I dual purpose the car drag racing as well and wanted to be competitive at both and I could not find a lot of details on good IRS coil-over drag race setups, or at least not in the realm of "buy this kit and your done." Spent some time running H&R race springs and swapping my MM race rear shocks for Viking B225 DA shocks when I went drag racing. So I had a setup that was neither ideal for auto-x or for drag racing, too many compromises, disappointed with the results. So I decided to go figure it out... First I converted my MM MM2 race dampers to coil-over with front 425# and rear 650# springs... Front... [ATTACH]42780.vB[/ATTACH] Rear... [ATTACH]42781.vB[/ATTACH] While I was at it I installed new bushings in the upper and lower control arms and converted the rear upper shock mount to the MM upper race shock mount with a KB rear shock tower brace... [ATTACH]42782.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]42783.vB[/ATTACH] This was complicated by the poor fit of the KB shock tower brace, there is a considerable gap between the brace bolt holes and the shock tower which the picture does not do justice to, so I ended up modifying it to work better with the MM rear upper shock mounts... I'll post again soon with the modifications required... of note, though the poor fitment of the KB brace drove me initially towards modifying the brace, I discovered along that journey that no matter the rear shock tower brace, if you want to use it with the MM rear upper shock mounts, some modification and fab work will be required for optimum installation of the upper shock mounts... to be continued...
