I thought you would need to go extreme drop BC with at least 20-40mm shorter strut body and damper in the rear... From what ive been told dealing with this person in VA where i plan on ordering my BC from but just dont know how much shorter ? I own a ucf21.. Im thinking 40mm rear and 20mm front ?? ANYONE?

Sorry for Hijacking the thread.... Thanks Jorge

Get the BC's extreme drop kit with upgraded custom swift spring rates. 14k front and 12k rear. won't be disappoint. also i suggest to get the traction arms for the rear cause your rear wheels will move forward.
