i need a lowdown on coil over struts.

[Slammed]

how low can you go on a gaz GHA front strut can you go proper low? like 3+inches down ??

 

let me know as i am a novice to them, and also..

 

can i use escort/capri2.0 ltr legs on an anglia 105e obtaining correct geometry? let me know guys and gals

i told you m8 !!

 

coilovers have about 3 inches of thread, what is infinatly variable so you can get a prefect stance

 

and then you can use shorter springs..

 

 

so as low as you can go

yeah i noticed that in descriptions and when i went there with rf,

 

i think you have got the gaz gold ones, i will be a cheapskate and get the gaz GHA ones

 

so big question, what do i go for mk1 escort sstruts or capri ones?

 

cheers shane

[5hane]

Gaz gold... i wish !!

 

ive got normal gaz insrts, what are the same as gha

 

it works out about £70 cheaper doing it urself

coil over threaded tube is about 6 inches long

how low you go depends on how low you weld the threaded tube down the billie leg

and what lengh spring and so on you go for

mine are welded 3 inches down the billie leg and use 175x12" springs

and will drop 3 inches easy

 

im new to all this tho so seek better advise

No you cant use the Escort or Capri legs on an Anglia and retain the correct geometry, for a start the Anglia strut steers from the rear of the leg, the Escort and Capri steer from the front of the leg.

 

 

How low is dependent on the legs you use, if you use MkII Cortina built to Milton spec then you can get the car lower than you could ever drive it on the road.

 

The usual is 4" from crossmember to road but there is a guy on here, Dick Dastardly who runs with his crossmember 3.5" from the road and that is a proper low car.

 

That is because the Milton have specc'ed the Strut Body and insert length based on their experience.

 

You could not run a standard MkII Cortina leg that had been modified by Gaz at these sort of heights because the insert would bottom out.

 

Just by fitting shortened springs will also cause the insert to bottom out.

 

The bottoming out will result in poor handling aswell as damage to the top mount bearings.

 

Buy the proper stuff and do the job once.

 

THERE IS NO CHEAP WAY TO LOWER AN ANGLIA !

Lowering Anglia's ain't cheap

 

My estate is running clasic capri struts with -3" springs... but that's generally frowned upon
