Mk2 Advice

I'm looking at transforming my stock Mk2 1600 into a fast road set up capable of doing the odd track/sprint day and was after some good advice/feedback on the suspension set up.

So far I'm considering a set of lowered king springs, a whiteline adjustable sway bar and koni yellows up front.

Maybe some adjustable strut top mounts, not sure which?? It's a 76 model which has larger mount diameter to the later model Mk2's

As for the rear koni yellows but I'm not sure what to do with the leaf springs. Get them reset, get new lowered springs or try the single leaf (tappered) option. Also considering an anti-tramp kit.

Thanks Daz

New rear springs, reseting is shyt.

have your springs on the rear reverse eyed it will lower by 2 inches without all the problems of sag.the front spring rates will depend on the type of tyres you will run. the more grip the heavier the spring rates.run the tramp rods as they also help to locate the diff correctly and allow the rear of the car to squat under accel giving better traction out of corners.use ajustable rear shocks so the you can dial in rear of car to suit your driving style.

don't use the std off the shelf king springs you'll just be wasting your money, there pretty poo poo on even a road car, need to look at specific spring rates, probably a custom order
