I sent you a PM..................

Tom

Hey rallytwit, I PM'd ya

Ford Escort, and Bilstein shocks. Got it.

Group 2 racing from the 1970s -- they still make those shocks? Got a part number?

'Club, what have you guys used for lowered sedans?'

Group 2 Escort Bilsteins- no problems whatsoever

Dave

Tom, are the shocks in that sedan a special short set, or just the standard length? Or maybe a race car doesn't need as much travel as a street car.

i would come and pick that shell up tom! If only it where in aus :(

Have I got a deal for you.....................instead of lowering blocks come to Vegas and you can have a proper set of Nissan Motorsports springs. The catch??? You have to take the whole sedan shell they're attached to, I 'll even throw in a set of KYB shocks. This was a race car project (has full cage) I bought because I wanted the H190 axle. Be advised I do not have the title, I got the car from one of the SoCal 1200 members and they are not sure where they put the title, may eventually be found. All of the glass is out of the car but there, also there is a set of doors and trunk lid etc. Be advised there is no front suspension or wheels, it had huge sway bars on it (also free if you take the shell) I robbed the coil-over struts for spares but if you wanted those I'd sell em cheap. It's also light enough that we could stuff it in the back of a full size pickup.

Would something like this be practical?

See if you do this, the shock raises with the axle housing




On a Coupe/Van/Ute that doesn't happen since shock attaches below the leafs.

Here's the other place you gotta watch.

Look under your lowered sedan and see how much room between top of differential snout, and the pinion snubber.

If needed, cut an inch off the snubber and reshape into cone (which helps with compression).
