ATS offers the coilover conversion bracketry. Check with Tyler. As far as the lower control arms... Which did you plan on buying? Both the Global west and SPC lowers are designed to be used with the conversion style coilover, i.e., still utilizes a crossbar for mounting instead of a double shear mount.

Tyler, I hope you don't mind. I am linking to the pic on your website:

The ATS set up is awesome if you can do the mild fabrication and welding cutting out the coil spring pocket and welding in the upper shock mount.

If not QA1 has a coil over conversion that iuses the upper coil spring mount.

Frank,

Any experience with the Varishock conversion coilover?

I think Tyler at ATS sells the whole setup. The Chicane brackets, the upper and lower Global West arms and I think he still sells the coilovers too from Bilstein and Penski Racing too. Since he relocated to a smaller shop, you might want to 2x check what he still stocks.

FYI: The lower control arms will require you to weld a small bracket for the bottom bolt of the coilover. Tyler might still sell the lower arms with the bracket already welded up.
