We just finished the rear of a hawk in CM tubing. It's really the only way to stuff larger tires in these. Question?

well I would love to know where you mounted the upper and lower arms? How long are they? It seems like they would be VERY short and I wondered if this would cause any problems. Pictures would be really nice

The chassis and flooring is all custom (no rear seating). The lengths are 'standard' minus 1-2". I cannot recall what we ended up with. The front links begin not far behind the front seats. No shots as of yet It's good to see something where that big empty space was.

How much does something like that cost?

Thanks,

It'd cost you $1100-2k to buy a complete 4-link rear chassis section/suspension kit depending on who and what you go with. That may or may not include shocks, but usually at least includes coils. I went with Afco coil-overs. They're a real kick in the pants $ wise (expensive), but worth it IMO.
