I have some struts with bilsteins and 400lb springs with height adjustable platforms, set up for a race car, probably a bit much for a club car, but they're on the market.

Thanks Errol, youre struts are excellent and brake setup is superb, plus its a great price for what they are..!!! However Im on a extremely tight budget as I am single income Dad with four young kids to support (sob story I know). The coupe will be used exclusively for track work. I do have 200B Girlock calipers and disks. I have lower control arms and strut tower mounts suit 200B struts on a 1200. (All of which was given to me)...Would a 200B strut setup be suitable for racing on a coupe??? Is it the same as Stanza??? Can anyone help me out with info and or parts to complete the setup??
Brent thanks for your post but I think it may be a little too tightly sprung for my coupe plus I cant get the $$ you want at this stage.

can't remember what diameter spring the 200B uses, but if it's the same as Stanza you can do this if you are on a really tight budget.
some of you are going to cringe at this...and it is not legal for road use... get some standard Gemini front coils. you'll have to cut them to suit as they'll be way too long. You probably want to remove about half of the variable rate part of the spring (where the wire tapers down at one end) if you're using an A series engine, and then get the ride height correct cutting material from the other end of the spring. Wire them in and you'll be fine. Just use whatever inserts you can get, even Monroe will last about a year of this kind of abuse - if you stay off the kerbs. And that might give you enough time to save for some real gear. At least you'll be out on the track having fun! Get a 120Y swaybar as well. This setup can work surprisingly well what have you done to the rear?

Thanks for your reply Harry, the rear is a H165 locker with extra leaf spring. It is quite stiff already. I know reverse eye is the way to go but Im leaving it for the time being.
So what youre saying is use a 200B strut, Gemini cut down springs (wired in) and heavy duty gas inserts such as pedders/monroe? I am using a Jeff Taylor A15. Correct? You can view topic.
