For the past week i have been working as an apprentice at Evolution2, a motorsport garage in Midrand.
After noticing the suspension setup on a couple of the rides that came in there what i want to know is, is there a possibility to somehow take the front and rear torsion bars out of a type 1 and somehow bush them so that the spring plates and the those arms that go on the end of the torsion bar and hold the link pins (don't know what they are called) so that they don't fall out, and replace the torsion bars with adjustable coil over shocks that go on the mounts where the shock absorbers bolt on?
Is there a possibility to do that?
Suspension upgrade.
