4:88 is the deepest with the stock rear that you can go I am going deeper yet with the 60 rear when I get it done |

Ok i have another question now. If i were to build the LA's, where is the best place in town to get them? Also do you have to have coilovers in the front or can you do just coils and shocks? |

d30 doesnt have enough room, you would have to go full width. coil overs are the best way to go. what do you mean by LA? lower arm? |

Ok so in order to do regular coils i need full widths. Got it. LA= Long Arms. |
