Once again, thought I'd share this with my Fiero brothers, I was browsing ebay and stumbled upon this rear suspension kit. Same ebay dealer as the one who makes the straight pipe exhaust for the Fiero.

What are you thoughts on this product?

I tried this in the past (different vendor) and it took a lot of modification to the strut tower to get full range of motion. Idk how this kit would be any different. I'm curious to hear if any one has these.

I don't like this style of coilover, it doesn't allow for any real travel, and I imagine, rides harder than a comperable setup with a longer spring. I am going to cut the spring perch off of my struts when I build my coilovers next week.

I think I'd only purchase this for the sleeve & upper camber plates. Rest I'd swap out for a Koni shock and some longer springs off of summit.

That bolt pattern will not fit the 88 nor will it work on older Fieros with 88 cradles. Why would you need it anyway, just adjust the camber using the eccentric bolt where the strut attaches to the knuckle.

The only way you will have access to the camber adjustment bolts from above is if you drill a large access hole for them in the strut tower. Looks like a gimmick product without practical application to me.

If you want to increase the available camber adjustment, do something like this (88 fiero):

Not sure what other people have seen, but I can get -1.75 on each side of The Mule ('87 GT)... There's plenty of stock camber adjustment for a street car.
