Found a set of double adjustable Dynamic coil-overs on eBay.

18" overall and 5" of travel. I plan on designing an in-board system for them so they should od the trick.

Set of 4 with 200lb springs for....

...drumroll please....

$400 - Buy it now price.

That's $100 each! Not bad I thought.

Don't advertise here, someone else might buy them before you! Jump on that man! It's a screaming deal!

I already bought a set. So, there's one left for anyone who wants them!

Someone else is offering a similar set for ~$900...

Do you have them yet?

Any ideas on the spring specifications?

Just ordered them this morning.

Springs are 200lbs/in, 12" long Hypercoils is what I've been told.

Thanks Mike,

I just picked up the other set. Can't wait to see them.

I've got a few pictures, in case you guys lucky enough to grab a set want to see how they were originally used. Taken at the 2000 USGP where the Shelby Series 1 was on display.

Front: Rockered and pushrodded to Corvette lower arm. Resevoir at static end (bottom). Cringe at rocker axle cantilevered (bad) off of rubber-bushed engine crossmember (bad). Aurora DOHC V8. You might get an idea comparing this car's weight as to how much to modify the ratios for a locost.

Rear: Same deal (Corvette FRONT suspension parts again). Again with the cantilevered rocker... I guess if you make it beefy enough... :roll:

RBT transaxle... I assume their 6-speed, not their ZF replica.

A couple more pictures, just 'cause it's a low-volume Aluminium frame which may be of interest here.

Same day, the then brand new Jaguar F1 car. Just months earlier, Eddie Irvine Jr. missed winning the 1999 World Driver's Championship by two points

driving for Ferrari... and bailed to be #1 driver at the new Jag team. His parents were my houseguests for the week of the USGP. Two of the nicest people I've ever known. I got to meet lots of their friends in the F1 community. All in all a super cool experience for a long-time F1 fan.

Thanks for the pics. That is one helluva chassis.

Make that 2 sets...

Be nice having a community around the same shocks!

Anyone have these in hand yet?

I got mine Friday. They are beauties. I was worried that the 200#/inch springs wouldn't be enough for a track/autocross car, but I'm not worried at all now. They are quite stiff. After all, they are valved for a car that weighs at least twice what we have.
