SHOCK IN COIL CONVERSION KITS

MODEL SIC

For All Thriumph TR series IRS Cars

Now you can have the best rear suspension system for your Triumph. Race proven
shock in coil technology places the spring and shock on the same rotational plane
for efficiency, decreases the sprung weight of your axel and neatens up the entire area as a bonus. This kit is essentially the same system as supplied with our new frames but it incorporates the necessary hardware to convert you stock spring and shock arrangement to coilovers.  It contains everything that you need and comes with complete instructions.

The conversion form stock to coilovers requires a degree mechanical ability for its
installation. Some of the tasks you will need to accomplish are:

1. Removing your old shocks, springs and swingarms.

2. Drilling four holes in the swingarm base for the lower shock mounting plate.
You will use the mounting plate as a drilling template.

3. Attaching the upper shock mounting plate to the frame with the hardware provided.

4. Reattaching the swingarm/shock/spring to the frame.

5. Compressing the spring to attach the assembly to the spring tower.
This is easily done with a floor jack.

This procedure is performed twice. Once for each swingarm and is easier than it
might sound.

The conversion should take about 3 hours once you understand the procedure.
If you have ever replaced your springs,then you know how to do half of the job already.

You get the following material with the kit;

1. Upper and lower shock mounting hardware for the swingarm and the frame attachments

2. Two Monroe-Matic Plus shock absorbers with hardware.

3. Two sets of rubber spring seats.

4. Two sets of hard rubber swingarm bushings.

5. All hardware necessary

 Monroe shocks are recommended because this particular model fits in the coil spring
and has the correct length and compression dimensions. Unfortunately for some,
we have not found a performance shock that works well in this situation.
This system is perfect for normal street use and at the same time excels at those
times when you want the best cornering performance.  Add a set of our front and
rear matched sway bars and you’re ready to rock and roll.
