Ok I have been slowly building a rally car(94 Celica GT) to enter in a NASA Rally race. I have most of the essentials and of course the required elements to get into a stage rally but I dont have good suspension!!! After test driving and doing some offroad testing with the car the stock front shocks are useless!! The question is, in your opinion what is the best brand and most durable versatile coilover setup with the greatest bang for your buck. I am not interested in lowering the car much if ever but would like to be able to lift it as much as 1-2 inches. I have been researching Hotbits suspension which looks pretty stout but I dont know!! The K sports and BC's look kinda cheap(unreliable in tough abuse applications), but I dont know?? I am looking for some one who has put there suspension through hell(really tested the limits) and came out happy with there suspension!! what kind of set up do you have??? Thanks

Also looked at your pics. Do you have more? I'm not sure if your cage will be legal to get logbooked as is. I know NASA changed their rules a bit on cages to make them more lax, but in my opinion you should build the car to meet Rally America specs as well.

So few rally's in the USA, why build a car that can only run half of them.... plus it hurts your resale value. Also the majority of the closest rallys to you are Rally America events. I really can't stress this enough, don't build to just NASA.




Like I said I can't tell, but it looks like your A-Pillar bars bend out, which they can't. They have to be straight or bent so if you're looking at the front/back of the car it looks perfectly straight. An X in the main hoop would be good as well.

Join rallyanarchy.com and talk to heymagic (Gene), he a NASA and RA scrutineer and helped me out with my cage build. For the most part I know what I'm talking about if you have questions, but he's one of the guys to tell you for sure what you need to do.
