MX5 front Springs conversion to the rear of my brumby
I know this is a big ol' thread dig from many years ago, but I'd like to know more about this!
Are you still running these struts in the back of your Brumby? If so do you still have the torsion bar in there as well? I'm thinking of doing something similar to my wagon (i.e proper struts where the shocks are usually) But don't know which struts/springs to use, or which are small enough in diameter. Also wondering if extra springs on top of the torsion bar will be too much spring Then again at the moment I have the car sitting on the torsion bar with no shocks in it and it seems very very soft, perhaps my 35 year old torsion bar has lost its spring. Another thing, the pictures of your ute on these rear springs has the back sitting up a fair way, I wouldn't want my wagon sitting up that high but I have 2" lift block in there as well so if I put MX5 struts in it without lift blocks the height may be alright? But probably not enough travel in the shock. Can't see if you've got a lift kit in this one or not.
I plan to have some extra gear in the back compared to stock, and if I'm off camping there will be alot more extra gear hanging over the rear wheels, maybe extra springs in that case are a good thing.
