Default 96 rally car project

Ive found a few idea's

not looking to weld in a roll cage or any thing too big yet.

just looking for a suspension that will bring it up a bit and give me a rally car hight

I want to run a 15 or a 14 inch wheel.

ive almost got all the bugs worked out of the car its a 96 with 233,000 on it. with few stright body panels.

it was the right price and i needed another commuiter.

Only ones i could think of are koni yellows with gc sleeves, and longer gc springs..

but i think you can also use a full coilover and just set it up to a higher ride height...

unfortunately not, most coilovers have a minimum drop... they cant raise the car...

Get some Bilstein's with coil-over sleeves. They are innexpensive and robust.

Koni's do not hold up in the rough stuff.

It's not a rally car till you weld a cage in, and most important, drive it like you stole it....

Bilstein inexpensive? Less than Penske I suppose!

I'd expect Konis to hold up better than just about anything else other than Bilstein...?

Thanks for the tips yes i know its not a rally car untill it has a cage

I am really just looking for the look.

The only reason I got this was to drive to and from work to

i also want to put in the 1.5L vtech e motor. The main purpose of this car is to commute.
