 |
|
Just wondering what suspension differences there are between these two cars as ive heard from some people the EL was 'significantly revised' and things to that effect.
Wondering if any of these changes are worth while/possible mods to my EF boat. |

| I'm pretty sure the only change to the actual suspension geometry was the rear upper trailing arms on the EL, using the XR units. Other than that chanegs to spring/damper rates? Maybe someone more knowledgable can back me up. |

yerp, you will want some new bushes and a good thick sway bar to help even it out more..
It all adds up and should work out better than el i nthe end, compared to stock of course. |

The watts link part that attaches to the diff was lowered a bit. Also they changed the whole upper arm setup and included 3 holes in the EL diff instead of one - this way they used a different upper arm (shorter) and you can relocate the pinion angle depending on ride height.
Not really worth the upgrade, you can still lower quite a bit with the EF setup. |
