Default Rear coilovers

Hi all, I am building a 240 stage rally car to run along side my 142 road rally car, (mainly to show some folk that you can go stage rallying without blowing tens of thousands of pounds and have just as much fun) am sorting out suspension, looking for some rear coilovers to fit in to turetted rear arches and to the top of the axle, if anyone has something that might fit, I can mod the rest, anything considered.

Thanx
Tim

On your own with the spec of coilovers since you'll be making the turrets. Why bother when the gp a rally cars used the std setup, which if you go to sellholm tuning you'll find everything you need.

If you want it to be adjustable I do adjustable spring perches.

I would have thought rally springs would have been the way to go tbh

Hi guys, sorry I'm late replying, thanx for all your info I'll have a think about it all, just thinking about matching the front R-Sport rallycross inserts that are in the front coilovers, having the freedom to play with hight settings at all four corners just seemed like a good idea? Trying to use as many standard parts as poss so that sourcing replacments is easyer and cheaper, also looking for a k cam if anyone has one to hand?
