There was a write up in CompleteKitCar a few years ago about a V8 Fury with this set-up. That was taken somewhere (possibly' Procomp) for a suspension set-up and the odd rear end and it's issues was mentioned. They altered it somehow to improve it. I might still have a copy somewhere...

Thanks mate that would be great I'll search the Web for the article aswell I assume the problem comes as the shock compresses it tries to turn the hub inwards as there is no top wishbone .?. Got to find what the top spherical bearing is from I had hoped it was a vw product but apparently not .Thanks again Dan

I think they went to http://trackdevelopments.com/
could be worth calling them to see if it was them. I also think that they revised the geo for the Marlin 5exi

Hi Dan

I recently had my fury set up by Dave at trackdevelopments, mine is a live axle. I'm not far from you in Taunton and have a few sets of springs (180, 160 and 150 from memory) that you are welcome to borrow and have a play with.

Hi Jeff. It usually takes a day. I left mine with him as we swapped the springs.
