Suspension setup?

(1/4) > >>

smo:
As i'm rebuilding my 90 (post crash) i shall be changing her quite a lot. I intend on going truck cab, full cage etc and plan on running at lease 35/36" tyres.

So - what is the best suspension setup to go for, is it best to go firm but with relocation cones, or go soft long springs that wobble about, possibly 3 link (altho cost is a limiting factor) or is there a better solution, the X-eng X-spring possibly???

Suggestions and comments appreciated :)

Eeyore:
What is it you're trying to achive with the vehicle?

This'll largely dictate which way you want to go with the suspension.

i like progressive springs but each to there own. You really need to build your motor and get it 99% done and then you can measure your sprung weights to get the best springs you can.

smo:
Itll be a challenge vehicle of sorts, low speed technical & winch challenges, throw in some RTV's etc too for good measure!

I run a Gwyn Lewis kit, very good. I know someone who runs a Max Traction kit, again good and passes the ARC rules as you can not have the springs dislocating.
