Cheap coilover solution??
 

Anyone know anything about these?

Looks like they fit on your standard front strut and use short springs made by Eibach.

check with cstreit, I think he just put a set on his racecar. He posted pics in the AX/Racing forum

Those look like an "IT legal" kit where the threaded tubes are not welded to the strut body. People have been using them for years in the IT classes. You'll still need to weld or bond a band onto the strut body for the tubes to rest on. I used something similar on my ITB car with no issues.

I think that the SCCA has recently changed the rules to allow threaded strut bodies on cars that didn't have them originally so the underlying reason for their existance may have gone away.

Yep. Those are the kit Chris has.

John is right, you need to weld a steel band onto the strut body to give the threaded sleeve a perch....very simple.

Thanks guys, I posted on Chris' thread over in racing.

I'm thinking of putting these on the track car, currently has 22/29s, not sure what I will do for the rear. Still looking for an inexpensive solution there.

Are you looking to eliminate the rear torsion or just augment them? I've seen some conversion kits made for domestic cars, maybe circle track. I wouldn't think it would be that hard to come up with a rear concoction especially if your not switching to 935 plates.

Doesn't someone advertise some inexpensive ones in "Excellence", like air cooled classics or something? Of course if you go with an inexpensive setup your getting inexpensive shocks versus using your existing ones (if they are good and appropriate for more spring rate). If your making your own setup I would use a shock with a large "shaft" to help handle the additional abuse.

I would think you would want proper shock valving to compliment the new spring rate. I personally would go with Bilstein, TRG, Ohlins, etc. COs. Alot would also depend on what you intend to do with the car as well.
