Hi guys i have in mind a project that I've been giving some serious thought for a couple years. It's not really FTO related but I've found this forum very helpful and many people here quite knowledgable so I thought i'd throw it out there.

I am planning on basically making a street legal car with a basic frame, kinda like a super go kart or at least thats the best description I can come up with or even closer like the ariel atom but far cheaper. It's a weekend project. I'm sourcing parts etc. right now but I'm having trouble finding coilover suspension that would fit that application. Overall weight will be between 500-650kg so need something designed for a light racing application. Thinking maybe something designed for a bike or atv but so far no luck. Anyway just wondering if anyone had any ideas on anywhere that did either something that could work or custom coilovers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Easy, just go and purchase an Kitcar magazine, there are tonnes of companies advertising their shocks etc, all for Lotus 7 replicas weighing 500 to 600Kg.
Or Google "Kitcar" and follow any advertising links
