Seedy Al Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 So I have a question, Im look at converting comething to IRS, but dont want to mount the shock obsorbers upright due to restrictions in the cabin.\ So if I monted them on a pretty extreme angle, say close to 60 degrees, is this going to allow them to operate effectialntly Also, I assume I would need to run gas shocks? as oil would sink to one side more? Anythoughts Chur Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Early Mk1 escorts and im sure alot of other cars run em at a 45° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Chevettes do also and its shit. Works ok when they are high because they are on an ok angle, perhaps around 45° but as soon as you lower them the angle increases and the shocks cease to be of any use. People (and myself) go to a lot of effort turreting the rear of chevettes to eliminate the shallow angle of the shocks and I wouldn't recommend a setup like that if you have an option.

sholdowa Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Early Mk1 escorts and im sure alot of other cars run em at a 45° Doesn't make them pleasanter to drive though. You can actually feel the back end shunted diagonally when the loads come off the relevant corner. Hope this won't happen with an IRS setup though!!!

Seedy Al Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 not sure what set up i would be using yet. To lewt it make more sense its for the Uki Van, was looking at maybe Subaru Justy, but I dont want two big turrets claiming my rear area.
