Don't the Penski coil overs go on the other way ???to reduce unsprung weight???thats why they have the name on the end they do---yours may be upside down!!!!


Also do you have some way for your wheels to slide on the floor to equalize suspension when you lower the car ??? Two 12 inch floor tiles with grease between them under each wheel will do in a pinch if you don't have the swivel plates for alignment

Interesting question, mine are also "upside down" as is every other Kirkham that I have pictures of. Could be they don't fit the other way, I haven't tried. Maybe someone from KMS could enlighten us.

When I setup the rear on my car I ran out of adjustment when I was trying to get rid of the bump steer. I could address the bump steer, but I ended up with positive camber. I spoke to Dave Cindrich and he made me a set of new "top hats" for the upper wishbone that allowed me to position the inner end further forward. I was then able to get the rear bump steer to within 0.01" per inch of wheel travel all of which was in the same and right direction, whilst also maintaining the correct camber.

Interestingly, the results from one side to the other were within single digit thous' which I think speaks volumes for the quality and accuracy of manufacture.
