Uh... the original poster is doing the same thing.
Slamming a stock setup and adding sticky tires does not address his question!

wow... haha I'm aware of what i need to do to make it handle. I already have a rear sway bar that's gonna go in it, I haven't really looked at the front sway bar yet to see what i can do with that.

ANYHOW! I just wanted to see pics of coil overs. I wanted to ditch the torsion bars as the spring rate on the stock torsion bars are setup for the weight of a 4 banger and won't be what i'm looking for. I don't think i'll have an issue with the ball joints, and i don't want to go IRS... i sure as hell don't want a rotary (i hate rotary's very passionately).



I saw your build thread when i was searching, however you're using a tubular upper and lower control arm. I don't really want to go to tubulars... this is a daily driver for me, so i'm not looking to dump a small fortune in the suspension. Its more of a sport tuned suspension on somewhat of a budget.

I believe NYTRDR24 has coilovers in the front of his truck. I know the rear of it does, but I couldnt find a pic of the front suspension. Might want to try pm'ing him.

for the front, look up pics of hydraulic mazdas...

different ways to add a spring uder, or over the hydro cylinder....

just kinda copy their setup, but use a good shock in the middle instead of a hydralic cylinder


and


though pics of actual builds will show alot more depth and make more sense
