Thanks man, I was wondering about the ties because I'm about to buy the BV ones (and they looked sick). I've got BV arms, and rack spacers in sitting in my room along with all my poly bushings lol. Where did you get your hands on the super now outers?

Dude ikeya stuff is awesome but so dang expensive.

thanks for the reply!

I know that I rub as of right now, but I had plans to modifying my frame rails to be able to run that low, I've looked up the thread and didn't see much info needed. My fender is actually currently removed as I figure out a way to clear my frame rails.

Anyone else have trouble getting their cars onto a trailer? I had to max out full high on the coils and it only went up to here. LOL.

Fixed my ride height, Yes it actually rolls, and my front do clear. I did however cut a giant square up front, and hammered the top layer up more to make it clear.

I just did my fair share of looking around and decided to go with Powerd by Max (PBM) coilovers. They offer stiff spring rates 18k/12k and seem to be pretty legitimate and based out of San Diego. I'm ultimately going to drift my car so I was looking at those and stances. Also on a budget so these fell in my price range. It all really depends on what type of driving/what youre using the car for.

It is always tough to load a lowered car on to a uhaul trailer. You have to use a flat trailer if you want it to be easy.
