Those linkages look awesome. IMPI spent a lot of time setting those babies up :shock:

Armand is really making the Type 4 engine conversion accessible to all :)

Stunning work, love it!! Really cool!!

I have those shocks with the coil over springs on my buggy for when I tow my trailer for camping purposes. I've found that I need to "lower" my rear suspension a touch because the coil-over springs (even on their lowest setting) add stiffness and thus ride height. Maybe you'll find the same?
