Cool are you going to mini tub it? If so I have a few photos for reference.

Looks good, BTW if you are going to buy the 10" 150 lb rear coil over springs for the back ALEX has a new pair he is selling, he decided to go with full coil overs, which use 12" springs.

I appreciate it man. I actually just got my 10" 150lb rear springs in today along with my Wolfe rear Adjustable spring perches. I also got my Motor and Mid Plates from Madman. Wolfe said they will ship my tubs out to me on Monday

Don't mount the upper coil spring perches until you get your rear end in the car and center the tires, a few people I know weld them in then have issues with the springs not being centered or lining up right once the car is all together.

If you need to just put them on for now I would use 4 self tapping screws to hold them on until you set everything up and then you can center the springs.

What size tire will you be running?
