Hi
Is anybody on here running coil over shocks on their 131 ?

I can't remember seeing anyone on here with them, perhaps someone like Walzey or Enzo?

You can get weld on kits for cars like Escorts, perhaps these could be adapted?

I do, and i can prepare coilovers for 131 with B6 bilstein inserts.

Interesting -any idea about price ?

  It will depend on your proposed usage,  as a show part it will be easy to do, all of the damper companies will make them for you but,  if you really want them to work properly other modifications will be required to the suspension pick up points, this extra bit is the way to WIN.

I can make the same kit as in my car that also has independent rear suspension but this kit includes the following parts
-2 front wishbones with uniball links and wider track of 60-75mm to each side
-2 compression struts with uniball links
-2 front struts with bilstein b6 inserts and coilovers
-2 rear wishbones with uniball links
-rear crossmember to mount wishbones
-tie rods with uniball links
-2 rear struts with coilovers and b6 bilsteins
-2 top mounts for rear
-2 add ons to rear turret to mount the top mounts

This setup will use lancia thema front hubs to the rear of the car. the axles from thema will fit many differentials(of course with some spacer.

The price for such setup is 2500euro and it requires the parts to be welded to the chassis so it is not simple bolt on kit and some additional work is required.
The car is then converted to very fast rally car that can give lot of fun.
The kit best fits with abarth tarmac kit but will also fit with stradale.

Tomek,  i think you have shocked some with that price! but that is the fact,  motorsport are not cheap.

This is lot of work and i have to buy brand new parts for the suspension, then laser cut some stuff, get uniballs, proper pipes etc. Takes a month to make it all.

you can believe me,  i know that it's a lot of work and the parts are also (BilsteinB6) expensive!
