A Spit I recently 'pass-over' only caught my eye on the side of the road because of the GT6 bonnet. (thought is was a Spit6/CGT6)
anyway... the guy had also used coil overs in the rear. They were J.C. Whitney supplied mobile car trailer shocks for a lawn/garden trailer. I agree with Joe saying the 'standard' coilovers wouldn't fit a Spit well let alone a roto. But there are 1.9" spring setups as well as the 'stock' 2.5" styles as used up front. hhmmm... it figures to... I had just run across a photo of a guys frame where he had apparently simply replaced the leaf spring with single bar, rose jointed arm each side. He had extended the shock stud out about an extra inch from the upright and was using a coil-over setup.. I'll try to find that photo and pass it on.
