The little blue sedan is a fiat.

Hmm ... 6 stud, didn't notice that !! But its running huge rotors on the front with brembos and just as big rotors on the rear with nissan 4pots ;)

I thought i put up a pic of a 1200 sedan ? Had a mid mount l20 ? I'll have to have a look at home later ??

the whole front end is fibreglass, and the rear as well the car's owned and driven by the owner of the mini places Father.
it's one awesome quality racer !!! it's pretty much spotless inside and out, with attention to detail everywhere !
it went great all weekend from what i was told by the owner and was looking like finishing well in the places by the end of the event

if you could get some details nick, that would be great !!

hmmm will look into the tarago option, bump/rebound konis sound interesting D - you wouldn't be able to get the part number off them for me would you ??

cheers DD
looked at that info but was hoping for something even shorter.

no body got any other info they can share ?

the stock shocker in my sedan has about 1" of travel, i'd like at least 3" maybe even 4" to get rid of possibly bottoming out all together.

i know its been discussed numerous times on here but the only real definite i can find id the torago shocker as a bolt in, heavier dampening and shorter shock absorber ...

i've just tried the saab 900 front shockers but the ride height of my datto need to be about 3-4"s lower to actually use the travel of these shocks

so, john taylor has gemini front konis listed as his rear upgrade for the coupes to match his springs, is there anyone who can confirm if these will suit a sedan ?? or if there is anything that will ?

if it comes down to it, i'll get some that are close modded to suit but first off i'd like to go down the 'straight bolt in' option ...

my sedans no where near stock ride height and sits with a 185/45/15 just in the rear arch.

any info or suggestions much appreciated
