Any specs on the coil overs? I'm planning to go that route one day and would like to know what spring rate and dimensions? Mine is a 70 Javelin also. How is the LCA bind with the new strut rod design? Move freely without bind? Such a better idea than a hard rubber bush torquing on arm all day long.

Can't tell for certain how/where the main hoop is attached.....is not tied to the front spring eye boxes??  Looks like its "floating" above the floor.....  Do I need my eyes checked?

Coilovers are QA1 DD501 and spring rate is 600lbs if I remember it right, I'll have to check the specs. Don't know if these are good or not but someone on this forum was using a set like this and I decided to try it too. Shocks are rebuildable so its possible to change them a bit if necessary. Strut rod seems to be quite good, only a little bit hard to adjust because there is only one thread but you only have to do it once.

I'll have to take some new pics, exhaust tunnels were not done yet so the hoop was left "floating". Now its boxed to the floor.
