Depends on what kind of riding you do. Yea, coilovers are okay if you just wana fly down trails all day... What do you plan on doing? Just trail ride, hill climb alot, or mostly trail riding and occasionally climb a little hill?

So are you saying that Torsions are better than Coilovers for Hill Climbing? If so Why? Curious minds want to know.

This is for a 4 seat frame doing trail and street

If you want to spend a lot of money to look fancy then go buy coil overs. But it all depends what you are going to use your buggy for.

I have coils on my 4 seater, and I didn't buy them to spend money or look fancy. If I was going to ride around in a boat, I want it to ride as smooth as possible. It hands down rides better than anyone I ride with (with torsions). Now hill climbing, thats another story, its a boat . As said, depends what you use you buggy for, I don't think there is any need for coils on the street, woods trail riding they are nice. If its not rutted or rocky tortions ride pretty good. My last buggy hade 28mm sway away with 2x3 arms and rode pretty good. If your looking to spend some money on you buggy in the coilover price range, I appreciate my power steering more than the suspension!

I have never rode in anyones buggy that has coil overs on it that rides any better than mine. Mine is like sitting in a recliner, kicked back watching TV.

i vote air bags!

, me too,,,easily adjusted from the driver seat,,cheaper that coilovers too. Plus a lot easier to disassemble the trailing arms. The air compressor comes in real handy also. Plus I have heard of more torsions braking than bags popping,,,,,can't believe I said that,,,,jinxed myself.

OK, I like to save a little money when I can. Me and my brother both run water cooled engines that are a little heavy compared to a air cooled engine. We run 3 x 3 arms with the torsion bars cranked up a little and added coil over shocks to help out. The torsions by themselves are not strong enough for the extra weight and the added leverage of the 3 x 3 arms. We run a Monroe shock for a 2000 chevrolet c1500 suburban 2wd truck part number 58639. You can look up the specs on the Monroe website.

i say air bags. i got 16 inches of travel in the rear and rides like a magic carpet.let all the air out and the motor can touch the ground. thanks to madmike!!!!!!!!!

How did you get 16" of travel without breaking the CVs?

I have not had good luck with Torsions. I have sacked out 2 sets of sway-aways and broke the end off of one of them. I do have a heavy car at 2800# with driver and passenger. So i felt Coil overs was the way to go for me. I find they work much better for my driving style and the terrain I ride in. Not to mention the adjustability of them.
