All,

Please see my previous posts regarding rear changes and bracket welding for installing rear coil overs (Kirk, we're under attack).

The standard shock mount bolts are not even close to handling the live weight of the rear of the car to convert to coil overs. I posted several pictures of changes made to the rear mount areas and the brackets required to handle the weight load for QA1 coilovers.

I had the brackets fabricated from 3/16 Cold Rolled Steel and welded gussets on the upper and lower mount points to transfer the loads to the upper frame and rear end housing (many pictures and diagrams on the previous post).

This was not difficult at all, just making sure of geometry and gusset support both in compression and rebound with proper welding procedures.

Front Coil Over install included conversion to Heidts tubular A-Arms and modification of the upper shock tower (pics also on previous post)
