Front coilover conversion mounts

I guess I should have been more specific and paid closer attention to the OPs question....I meant without cutting factory sheet metal...AND this is a race car with a cage and snout bars, likely with modifications to upper shock mount / sheet metal already made. In most of the cases of upper shock mount modification, 5" to 7" of travel is not out of the question.

I agree and have suggested doing just that to anyone willing to cut / modify their factory sheet metal, especially if they have removed the inner fenders and attached snout bars (that attach to a cage, not the firewall sheet metal).


how did you raise yours?

That's a good call and exactly my set-up- snout bars with no inner fenders. I just notched the factory shock tower and built it up a tad higher with tabs to bolt the upper shock to. It sounds like the OP may have a similar set-up as well.

There are plenty of quick cars out there using short travel shocks. But it's nice knowing I have extra travel available if I need it.
