Full Version: Suspension Overkill?? Needle Bearings for springs?

I bought these needle thrust bearings for another project and bought too many...soooooo, they just happened to fit on my new Koni's.....

Why you ask?

Well, when the spring compresses it twists, with the bearings, the twisting motion will be easier for the springs.......okay, it's going a little too far, but thought I'd let others see the madness smile.gif

You mean your going to use thrust washers like this?

breakdown of assembly,

these make it really easy to adjust the corner weights while the car is on the scales... no need to take the weight off the corner to turn the adjuster.

Did Andy teach you to take pics mike ?? Chrome shaft against a light wood ??

Looks cool. I can tell your lonely and board.

For a front coil over conversion, yes, definately
But for the rear? Hmmm... dunno do the springs really rotate that much in the rear?

cheers,

Jeroen

ps. Any chance you're gonna fab some 911 rear spring plate bearings?

The rear shock travel must be what, an inch? And for that you need bearings?
No-entering the overkill zone now.
