I have just fitted a narrowed jaguar rearsuspension on my car, but the original jag shocks, (thay are basically coilovers) are a bit on the stiff side and are not adjustable in height, besides they are used and ide rather replace now.. My problem is that the original jag units are angled about 30 degrees inward and sit on a car that is about 50% heavier in the rear than my roadster is. so when i install the shocks closer to vertical the weight of the car tilll isnt enough to compress the coilovers from fully extended..
what brand of coilovers are actually good shocks, a buddy of mine bought a set of aldan eagle coilovers that failed in two months and when he went to have them rebuilt the guys at the shop wouldnt stop laughing once they had them disassembled...
the weight of the rear end om the roadster is arround 1200 pounds with fuel and me inside, the shocks sit 40% of the way in between the wheel and the diff, there are 2 coilovers per side, and its an irs ofcourse...
any realistic advices (i know somone is going to say penske or öhlins but my moneytree isn't that tall)
