The Scorpion has straightforward strut suspensions front and rear which provides excellent handling.

FRONT SUSPENSION

  • Here's the front suspension completely rebuilt.
  • The shocks were rebuilt with new rod bushings, piston rings and seals.
  • New lowering springs and upper strut bushings were installed.
  • The brake calipers were rebuild and installed with new hardware, and braided brake lines installed.
  • Here's a layout of the new parts.
  • The tie rods and suspension arms are all new.
  • New control links bushings were installed.
  • The anti-roll bar and brackets were painted with corrosion resisting paint.
  • New hardware was installed throughout.
  • Eventually I installed the coilover suspension from Vick Autosport.
  • These greatly improved the ride
  • With the coilovers I was able to adjust the ride height to get a good stance and a little rake in the chassis
