Hi guys
I have already introduced myself in the general chit chat part of the forum, but I have a question now!
I haven't drove my car much as i only collected it last week and intend on rebuilding it before any major use, but when I drive over small
drains, potholes etc, the back of the car feels like there is no suspension at all!
I have have a look at the rear axle etc and the "nose" of the diff seems much too close to the chassis at the end of the transmission tunnel
than i would like - to the point that i think it is hitting the chassis and causing the bottoming out I mentioned above.
I have thought about raising the spring seat on the shocks, but the design of them beggars belief!!
Here is a bad pic of the axle under no load - you can see how close it is and where it has been rubbing the chassis

here is a pic of the shocker bottom - anybody seen this type of shocker before?

A new full set of coil overs is already on the list as i have zeemerrides up front. Can anybody suggest a set and spring ratings?
Thanks

That shocker looks like the type fitted to old 80's twin shock Z1000's and the like...
Hi
ive just looked at the shocker and the spring seemed very coilbound with no load in the car.
There was also about 10mm of travel before the bumpstop was reached!!
the sticker on the spring said 120lbs!!! surely these are way to weak for the rear weight of a locost???
Thanks
Easy way:
