Thanks, guys! Believe it or not, the car rides soooooo much better than it did before. I bought this car brand new back in 1997, and the very first mod I did after I had it for a week was Eibach Sportlines, Bilsteins and polyurethane bushings. I never had a problem with the way the car felt or handled since I prefer a firm riding performance car anyway. These coilovers are a night and day difference though.
Anyhooooo... I'll try to get some shots from under the car so you guys can see where the lower control arm mounts were relocated to. I can latch the rear seat-back back in, but I'm not gonna bother. I've always kept the seat-back folded down, so I might as well just completely remove it and the cushions for an additional weight savings.

So you're on QA1 coilovers all the way around? I've been looking for a rear (and front) coilover setup that's more for cornering. I currently have drag QA1's up front. Which ones did you order? That's what I like about coilovers, you can dial in your stance just perfect.

You can't really see much, but here's the right side tub from the top. You may not be able to tell from this photo, but the job is extremely flawless!
The interior panels almost fit pretty good. I'm gonna have one of my friends in the custom car world build some nice interior panels covered in fabric soon.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, but I'd rather NOT receive PMs on how to install mini-tubs. I didn't do the work, but there are a few recent threads where members did install their mini-tubs themselves with more detailed pictures.
Here's SHovV's mini-tub thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-ti...335s-345s.html
