Unfortunately I missed out on this particular Mazzone. That's ok though because I've learned a lot. Now I wont be so afraid to jump on the next one. I like the older cars cars as well. Its what I grew up around. Thanks again for the help.

My current car. Not that much can be told by pic but it's a idea.

I do understand the limitations. I'm also going into knowing I will have to most likely change shocks and possibly rear shock location. The car I have now tends to bounce a lot in front. It probably needs a better shock to keep the front under control. My main concern is that it's a fairly reliable trouble free rear suspension and that I can get it to ride as nice as my current set up. I just don't want to beat my guts out or hurt suspension by bottoming out. I'll post a better pic of the car. Thanks for the help. It's very much appreciated.

Thanks guy I'm really having a hard time finding information. I actually thought about contacting you Neal. I've seen allot the pictures you take you have some awesome shots. I agree on the coil overs as well as upper shock bolt. that appears to be the weak link. Neal you have seen the cars in action. If I were to put coil overs on it how do you think it would compare to stock VW beam type and torsion bar suspension? I know this question has many different factors but what's your guys best educated guess? My current car rides fairly nice. Its defiantly not a ball of fire over the rough stuff and I'm good with that. My main concern is that I don't want to take a step backwards in ride quality. I think the travel between my car and this one is comparable. By my logic I just need to get a shock with a spring rate to utilize all of the travel. Is that logical? Thanks Seth

Hello. I'm new to the group. I'm looking for a Mazzone mid engine car. I found one with IRS rear suspension. I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen this setup or has any insight to how it performs. It's not a car I intend on jumping. But I do see potential to bottom out suspension and possibly bend or break links. I am in Oregon and out hills up here tend to get a series of whoops at the bottom of the hill or sometimes all the way up the hill. This is where I see potental to have problems. In general how well does a Mazzone handle this type of terrain. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Seth
