Re: Noticeable difference in in-board vs. outboard coilovers?
I would do out-board for sure. Your reasons are all spot on. Some years ago a fellow contacted me about checking out a 9" rear end housing for him after it tore up its second wheel bearing on the same side in two summers...yes a wheel bearing a summer, a few thousand miles a year! I went to look at the truck (a '56 Ford) & found all sorts of crazy stuff. Axle housing welded all out of whack, way too narrow springs, too short of panhard bar, ect.
I built a new housing, made a new panhard bar & brackets (went from something like 16" to over 30") & moved the springs to the outsides of the frame. The guy that owned it & his wife could not believe how much nicer it drove, took bends, ect. Lorne
