Front Coilovers

Dero · 05-26-2007, 11:01 AM

I want to throw a set of coilovers on the front of the cart. All of the quad shocks I find dont have the studs at each end for the mounts and I would like to just bolt them on

. Anyone have any suggestions?

Also, im loking for cheep ones

. A no name brand, stock atv shocks, or used stuff is great!

What length should they be?

Dero · 05-26-2007, 11:08 AM

about 18" when they have the load of the cart on them.

Im using them to stop my axle rolling problem so I will need adjustable ones or be able to insert spacers so they do their job.

I weld on threaded rod or bolts to make them work, I have also used the kits that are springs that mount over the shocks that have clamps on each end to hold the springs in place

do you have a link for the clamp on springs? Google is not on my side today...

you can pick those up at most part stores, advance, auto zone, ect...
Heres a set on one of my carts

I went to advance today and I found some monroe coilovers for older mustangs, fairlanes, ect. Part number 58539. I just looked them up again and they say they are to maintain ride height for up to 1200 additional pounds!

. sounds like a little much for the front end of the cart. I think ill go with regular mustang shocks and fit the helper coils on.

Is this what I want?

I wondered how these would work on a cart.

They work great for my cart, gives it that little added stiffness to run into ditches and through rough terrain that would normally bottom out the front. there more forgiving than air shocks and still allows a great range of motion. Maybe not as nice as some good coilovers but for the price its well worth it.
