Converting Nivomat suspension WITH IRS... 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be Jon Belmont on  Tue Jul 31 07:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

For those of you interested in the IRS nivomat conversion:

I did this a couple of years ago for nominal cost. Check the 700/900 FAQ under rear suspension. In a nutshell, you get a set of 200 series overload coils from IPD, cut off or straighten the "pigtail," get a set of Bilstein B46-1662 shocks, do some minor machine work (pass a hollow pipe through the bottom eye mount, pinch off the ends flat and drill two holes), and install. The toughest part is getting out the old springs and putting in the new ones. There is not much room under there to dick around with spring compressors and such... it's a major pain in the ass. If anyone has any questions on the conversion, don't hesitate to email.
