What about the upper coil mount? Would not both be subject to an equal and opposite reaction?
Unfortunately I have no idea what Jaguar used as bolts for the dual Coilover shock mounts on the IRS. As the length of bolt that I need is dirfferent to the original Jag, I was thinking of machining custom Stainless steel shafts for both the upper and lower coilover mounts. Anyone have thoughts on this.
