THE JOURNEY OF MY F50 LEAF SPRING TO COIL SPRING

<-- This' my original F50 before the changes. Look at the tyres, the height, and the mirrors. Very "o'skew" isn't it?

Then, the "Aki" ('grand Pa', consider to it's age)already turned to offroad vehicle. But still, the adventure one and using the OEM leaf spring -->

THE INSPIRATIONS
In the mean time, the offroad viruses, ideas and many poisonous inputs about leaving the old leaf suspension system that found over 20 years ago came across my mind. Here are some of those pics.


These ones is very inspiring:
Those suspension is made by Gone2Far special for LandRover vehicle with its "dislocation" spring. Could you sleep after see those pics, huh?

THE EXECUTION
Helped by my crazy friends, Fiddoh and Eko (the founder of TDI), we decide to demolize the exisiting suspension. Well, it's an over 20 years suspension technology that build a myths "the strongest suspension we ever rely on". What the heck.

THE PARTS
We try to use the common parts we can find in the market, such as the bushing and the pillow ball except the custom radius arm.


THE INSTALATION

<-- The custom radius arm
Radius arm and the coil. Before put the absorber into the coil. -->
Rear suspension

THE LOOK
Improved departure angle by widen the wheelbase about 20cm to the rear

THE RESULTS
After the modification, my "Aki" CAN DANCE!





NOW THE GONE2FAR IS NOT THAT FAR ANYMORE!
