                    Glad this is kicking off!!!

                    I'm trying to figure out what a good suspension set-up for my future 240 would be.

                      after A LOT of reading over at turbobricks, it's not easy to get really low. the best/safest route most people go is shortened struts (saab struts iirc) and custom coilovers for the front and cut sport springs in the rear.

                      the 245 i'm picking up will promptly have all springs removed to see where that gets me. i'm perfectly fine with a shitty ride to get the stance i want. done it before, will do it again. if that doesn't get it as low as i want, i'll replace the struts with shorter models and possibly break out the grinder and welder. i plan on documenting every step to see what it takes to go as low as possible.

                      btw, planning on running sc430 18" wheels on it

                          I don't know much about the older brick suspension, but Ben at Kaphlenke has some wicked set ups. I am going to be getting my rear coils from him. (http://www.kaplhenke.com/)

                          With the 70/850 series you can easily make coilovers (like I did) from Koni shocks and Afco parts.
