To keep it cheap, I don't want to re-design the front or rear suspensions,,, I would love to use dual A-arm front suspension instead of Mcpherson struts, but for now I did this:


TOP: shortened 510 strut with MR2 insert ... . . . . MIDDLE: shortened 510 strut with 280zx inserts .. .. . BOTTOM: stock 510 strut

The plan:


For years I have dreamed of raising the entire rear floor/suspension a few inches,, to get rid of some camber, and be able to drive slammed

..... the original goal was 2.5" rear and 1" front, moar lower than this:
