    i ran a 4way setup with 4-2way valves. bought the bags and valves from that site i posted and all the 1/2" dot airline and brass push fittings from NAPA. the wiring for the switches and valves i used 4wire extension cable wire, tucked it all under the carpet, it was a pretty clean setup.

    10 years ago, when i did this, the whole thing cost around $1000 and i did all the fab work for the notch, bag mounts, 4link and cross members myself.

    if you do stiff enough shocks in the back and put in a triangulated 4link setup for the rear then you should be able to drift nicely with bags.

    i used to buy all my bag and exterior stuff from these guys long ago and this is about the same kit that i used on the nissan.

    On a couple sidenotes, the swap should start right after simply clean, I want to have it running to make it out there. Also, after the swap I'm thinking about getting some cheap Jegs steelies that are almost identical to Diamonds in 15x10 with a 4 inch backspacing. That, or Cragars. Is that overkill? Btw the wheels will be white. Here are some I've considered.

    i used the hotrod style coilover shocks you can get from summit, this was about 9 years ago so i dont remember the specifics in regards to model numbers. it was direct bolt on, no fabrication necessary. i did notch the frame though, if i hadnt the frame would be sitting on the axle in those pictures.
