I'm on a quest to copy the mechanical aspects of the SVO with my 91 hatch. Right now, I'm concentrating on the legs of the hores. So far, I have put in a 5 lug conversion kit. It still uses rear drums however. I put on 17X8 Edelbrock 454 wheels but the tires rub with passengers and on bumps and pot holes. I'm thinking I need new coil springs as the shocks were replaced when the 5-lug kit was put in. I am currently trying to get the suspension to meet or exeed the handling of the SVO. I'd like to put in the quad koni shocks in the rear. Can I do that with the current axles and differential? How do I mount the extra shocks? Is there any difference with the SVO rear coils etc than the 4cyl 87-93? All the aftermarket coils seem to lower. I don't want to lower, the tires are rubbing as is. What do I need to get in order to meet SVO specs? Is a K-member a worthwhile investment. It would require coilovers for the front. Can a K-member work for a 2.3? I've got my eye on the one from UPR. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
