AWD trans for a Del sol? explain.

It would help to know what suspension you have on there currently so someone could make a suggestion as to what would be softer.

With the required fabrication and knowledge of an AWD conversion, suspension should not be an issue.

I don't know if anyone makes rally spec suspension. As far as the springs go, I would imagine that stock would be the softest.

There are a few companies out there who make rally specific suspensions such as DMS, hot Bits (expensive @ double the cost of a street setup), Billstein, KYG AGX (although they are not rally specific they are good for peeps on a budget), Proflex (australian rally specific and they will make for any car), OHLINS (may not have a honda specific app though), reiger (euro)... There are options out there but availability and cost may be an issue.

personally i think a subaru or mitsubishi would make a better rallye car, but if you build it and it comes out badass, then thats pimp bro. Good luck and I agree that the thread given above has valuable information. Just dont sell it in the middle because it gets tough. thats my one request haha
