Question Any of you guys have narrowed rear ends?

Pros,Cons?

I'd like to tuck my rims and tires in,but was wondering how much it goes in to narrowing the rear.

I have a 2nd gen F-body narrowed, & first off alot of work & money.
Tubed in the back, entire new rear suspension/back-halfed(coil overs) .
Have to unbolt the coil overs to get the rear to drop, & just to pull the tires off.
It drives like **** on the street, but if you want a big block to hook you gotta pay.
If your goin full on drag car W/1000 h/p do it.

I didn't mean tubbed(back-halfed),I ment narrowed rear.Theres a few memebers that have done this without cutting or major work.I don't recall which forum I read it from,but there was some info on some of the people that have done this to thier cars.Maybe those guys will chime in if they see this.

Well that a nice set up, it wount be near as bad as a back half.
If your thinking rear end anyway, what's narrowed with shortened axles?
Bet there's a few sponsors that can do it no problem.
