anybody running without rear separate springs for their suspension???

[JFVjm]

ie coil over damper setup in one ?
if so how does it ride and anything to lookout for?

Skymera has polo rears he'll be able to help

They ride fine. They're obviously bulky so you need an adjustable rod if lowered otherwise you'll end up with problems being the coils rubbing against the inside of the arch.

Polo 6n rears fit like Karl says, bottom bush needs trimming.

Feel free to pm me if you need more pics

What other modifications where required for this?

Just need the bumpstop metal ring from the Micra rear shock and transfer it. Trim the bottom bush. Choose a suitable size bolt (I threw in the first ones I found).

Here's some pics, let me find the others

And here is the pic of the top cup thing from the Polo.

Shock absorbers aren't load bearing normally.

Had them on most of this year, not a problem.

i fitted rear coilovers to a nova years ago instead of the normal seperate shocks and springs and the mount for the shocks were really thin.

I made up some 3mm plates and welded them either side and welded around the base on the rear axle for extra strength.

Ill probably do the same when i fit the rear coilovers onto the micra

That's good too hear in a way, as Rally_rob said i had assumed they where very thin.

They're fine, pretty chunky
