RSR shocks, special hardware to mount?
IF I want to put the RSR coilovers on my car, 1972 911T, do I need any special hardware for the upper mounts? I was planning on using the Elephant Racing monoball in the Elephant Racing camber plate mount. Is that all I need to bolt the coilovers in?

Do call Chuck Mooreland or others...but my opinion is this:
Be careful in that the loads are now through a different path....the coils will now load up the shock towers..something they were never meant to do originally. RSR coil-overs are best used when the shock towers are re-inforced or tied into a roll cage structure...... IMHO...... Wil

Thw shocks come with there own mounting hardware, however you should reinforce the chassis in that area.

You need hats and the coils. You can also put in a bearing kit to prevent wind-up when steering, though the monoballs will largely mitigate the need for this.

Ah just the man I was hoping to hear from. I assume you sell the springs and hats even though they are not on your website. A call to Elephant is going to happen sooner than later. Now if I only had more money....
Thank you Chuck.
