Rear turrett mods for coilovers
Evening all I want to run gaz coilovers on the car when I start rebuilding it. I have a couple of questions about this first I have seen some people have to knock the inner rear arch in a bit for clearance, is this the case with every car an how much is needed. Also some people have said the rear turrets need strengthing to run coilovers is this the case an what is needed. Any comments or info welcome
Cheers Rich
Turret is a nicer solution. Most will need a hammer tickle if not all.
My Avo's bolted straight up with no mods. Just going to stitch the seams inside around the arches when I can be arsed
Cut the whole lot out & fabricate what should have been there in the first place!

Sorry for not having a clue here but what's the gains in changing the turrets? Sounds like something I should do while the car is in bits and before I get it painted
I bought tubs and turrets a few days ago. Will be fitted next week I think!If ever I get a shell to work on I'm going to tub and turret both corners
That's my point walshysr what is to be gained switching to turrets I guess it's a stronger setup but is the original setup not strong enough for coilovers. Plus when it goes back together I want it to look as original as possible an not hacked about ( apart for the coilovers obviously ).

If they don't touch then the original inner arches will do the job adequately. A stitch weld would be a good idea though.
If you want to run any rear coil overs with any spring diameter at any height without worrying then do the proper mods.
When I bought my car it came with gaz rear coilovers but the lad wanted to keep them apparently they came off a corsa c? But they didn't rub so am I right in saying tubbing the rear turrets isn't for handling ect just to get different suspension on
