    last i heard from some of the local guys that whent CO conversion they absolutely loved it.......

    my suggestion if you are going to drift it is to go a little over on the spring weight instead of safe. for one.... you will have an easier time trying to get it adjusted nice and tight to a stiff settting so your front wont pitch as bad...... the springs will settle some and sag a bit so you have to take that into account.

    i eventually will be going that route one day. :D

    Hes to good to use any computer program haha. Seriously though, he knows what hes doing and makes sure that its done right. Thats why this one (the first one being made) is taking a little bit of time.

    Yea I hear they work real well on the Tacomas. But the upper shock mount on the older trucks doesn't support a coil. I have been thinking of welding a tacoma upper arm/coil/shock bracket onto my 92 pickup. I have 69 camaro gas-a-just shocks on my 92 DJM drop lower arms so I know that part fits. I would be able to use my old 98 Taco upper arms for clearance. But it's just the length of the lower arms and mounting the spindle. I still don't know if this will work because I know the upper arms on the pickup are longer than the Tacoma. If I knew it would work I would for sure get a QA1 camaro setup on my 92. Right now I am working on a 92 and 98 at the same time so I'll take a better look at it. And the torsion bars might have to be eliminated if the lower Tacoma arms will bolt up. It's a head scratcher.:eek:
