ok the first question is where do i start with the questions. (lol) i want to start a new buggy build this spring, i want it to be w/c. the problem is i've never seen 1 up close to see how they are plumbed, wired and so on. doing elctrical is not a real problem for me. im not a strong weilder, or fab. these are just things i've never done alot of. so i guess the first real question is this a project i should take on. or should i just stay a/c where i a least have a little knowledge. cause i have no idea wherei would have to start on a w/c

Coil overs are excellent springs,,,just takes more trial and error to set up..unless you are real smart and real lucky.. ( and richer ) Air bags are more user friendly,,just my humble opinion :?
