Originally posted by Keith602Needed to cut the upper arm nearest to the engine for the bag to clear (after the above pic was taken).
This guy recreated the upper A-arm for a coilover conversion, but only because he cut and widend the shock tower in the front suspension;
Originally posted by Keith602Needed to cut the spring cups in the back quite a bit as well.
Originally posted by Keith602We'll see. Pulled the sway bar obviously.
Originally posted by Keith602I went with the 2400lb bags, which are still a little too big...
Sorry for the truckload of questions. If I get there I will be needing to import the parts from the States, better make sure I do it right the first time
Cheers

Then my plan is to swap the M41 gearbox with a T5 and the rear axle with a 240 axle so I have disc brakes. But since I haven't got much experience working on cars this all is long term planning. Learning as I go.
When this is all done I'm hoping to bag the beast

Sounds like a good project! Start a build thread if you haven't yet

How does it drive for comfort on the bags compared to the cut springs you ran previously?
