Anyone no where I can get some good coilovers for the rear?

Need to be around 800 lb/in (~14 Kg/mm)..

In front I will run Ölhins TTX36..

So I really don`t need a coilover set, just the rear..

Got some snap on brakets for fenders and front spoiler..

'Vest Racing', that is one of the most, for a lack of a better word, beautiful pieces of machinery I've seen in a long time. I like your (or your team's) attention to detail, nothing to small seems to be overlooked. I wish the best to you and whoever else is helping you on this endeavor. Seems like one hell of a project and for the most of us, average folk, a one in a life time experience. Soak it up =

I need more room in the back, so I will make some wider burnout flares in the back


I have ordered some plastic to make the mold of..

And welded the edge of the burnout flare..

Thanx..

Sorry but the fuel pumps are not overkill...

One A1000 pump can supply 3 1680 injectors but not 4, and I will have 6 1680 injector..
That`s why I need two A1000 pumps...
