I've heard the geometry on the tg kit sucks. It's up to you though, what's on the buggy now?

Coils, links and leaf springs aren't  the best combo  :gap:  I'm guessing they are a cheap option that can easily be found at junk yards, etc.

So it's like a junkyard 3link that people use?

No, just the coils off the back of a van. Instead of using coilovers or air shocks some use just a coil and a shock.

From what I have been told by people that build a lot of link set-ups the numbers are wrong on TG's kits, especally for a DD!!!!!!
