I did get the coilovers in and there workin great. I do think I went alittle to heavy on the spring rate but I wont really know until I get it on tge drag strip.
Ill post some pics of the coilovers when I fet some time in tge next few days
Sadly I just got the motor out of the today after the timing chain let go.
So ill be fixing the motor and putting in tge new tranny at the same time.

Forget the coil overs, the tranny is the real question!

Sorry guys I have been super busy with work and stuff.

I have some pics of the coilovers on my car but there on my computer at home. They feel great on the car but I could have gone a little softer on the springs.

I am just now starting to work on the tranny swap. Wich is not going to be as easy as I 1st thought but still very do able

How much shock travel do we need? Personally I wonder if Varishock could do something for us, they do make adjustable coilovers with this mounting configuration.

Yeah the Coil overs kick ***. I still think I'd like alittle softer sspring but all in all not to bad.

I gave up on the tranny as I wanted to do a auto swap any way. So I sent the mag back to summit and got a 80e from the junk yard. It's in and running now but I'm waiting on my tuner before I dive it.

As for the hight of the Coil over I think i got the tallest one strange make (18.5" I think)
