Hydro to dry ( temporary )

Post by spoon.450 »

A mate with a hydro car wants to temporarily convert to dry to improve handling and the way the car sits. He intends storing the hydro units and any other associated removed parts to refit at a later date. Although different he would ideally like to keep the standard subframes, radius arms and front top arms on the car as it is currently a complete car. Any suggestions regarding the most practical way of doing this…….advice on what parts may be readily available etc would be much appreciated. Thanks Dave
