What brakes are you using? the 120Y brakes fade too easy with an A15...

i wouldn't recomend lowered springs with 120y struts,
unless your willing to cut 1.5-2 inchs out of the strut tube

with the extra weight of the CA your going to be bottoming out all over the place.

if your going to be cutting the strut tube then you might as well fit the coilovers in,
if you decide to go racing you'll be set.

Was planning entering some SE Qld sprint series events, along with the occasional track day.
Do you think that would justify using fully adjustable coilovers?

I don't understand how changing the ride height would affect the handling all that much.... On a 1200 ute anyway.

Preload was something we used to play around with a lot when I was into road bikes, but this was critical as the centre of gravity is a major consideration when setting up a bike.
I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to car suspension though & don't know if the same rules apply.

Are you planning on doing any track work with the car?...... if so, small adjustments in ride height can help dial in the suspension at the track.

If it's simply for use on the street, coilovers are probably overkill...... but nice to have

O.k, so everything's in & running well, but with the CA in the font the thing handles like an upside-down turtle.

Time for a suspension upgrade.....
I'm trying to decide whether to go with welding threaded collars to my 120Y struts to allow fully adjustable coilovers or just to stick with some lowered springs.

I can't really see the point of fully adjustable if once you get the ride height you want, they get locked off & left alone.

Thinking some 1" lower 200lb (Kings or similar) springs & if the ride height needs adjusting, I can just grind & re-locate the standard 120Y spring retainer.

What do you guys reckon?

Also - Any advice on a good shock insert (front) & rear shock to use would be welcome.

Cheers,
