    okay so after carefully studying this pic i have decided that it's possible, this set-up has been ran on F1 formula cars for YEARS, the pic however is not a well engineered set-up, i plan on taking the basic design and taking it to the next level using better stronger materials that are lighter and probably less expensive, in the end the TOTAL cost for parts/labor should be no more than a good set of coilovers, im not talking about egay sleeves, im talking skunk 2 type c's, tein SS, and koni's but they will respond better,faster,and are more adaptable than any of the ones mentioned, i will be using my hatch as the test dummy to see what works best etc...you will be able to choose or make up your own spring rate according to the ride and performance you would like, the bodies i will be using are almost identical to the ones pictured with remote resi's dampening and rebound adjustable (ones shown in pics are NOT), and i will also need to know how much of a drop your wanting, keep in mind these will go up or down about an inch from where you tell me so there is some wiggle room if there needs to be. since nobody makes a kit i will be making them myself, if you decide you want a set thats great but i will not make several sets of them to sit on my shelf, i will however keep very detailed notes and measurements when making mine and will make them per order after a deposit has been made, again...these will handle better, be more responsive and tunable than a set of equally priced coilovers, thinking it's going to be around 1200 for EVERYTHING, you drop the car off, pick it up 1-2 days later and its done, this is only for the rear as of now, im working on engineering a kit for the front that allows both hood and motor clearance but were not going to get into that right now...whole other story... but on a serious note this is not something you see everyday and would surely turn some heads! i need a rough number of ppl that would be interested in this set-up so please add your name to the list accordingly. any and all questions can be posted in this thread as well. anyone i have done work for will vouch for me!
