THE JOURNEY OF MY F50 LEAF SPRING TO COIL SPRING
wingF50's 1981 Daihatsu Rocky <-- This' my original F50 before the changes. Look at the tyres, the height, and the mirrors. Very "o'skew" isn't it?

wingF50's 1981 Daihatsu Rocky 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 existing 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.

Nice car. I like those Daihatsu, look like a miniature Toyota Land Cruiser.
If I can find one I will buy it. I have a Suzuki Samurai. I like small 4X4 cars.
