Weld the ball joints to the control arm, or they will pop out of the arm.

well i was thinkin goin hybrid cylinders in front tied into some into the trunk connected to bag i just dont like the idea of juice leakin o rings and whatnot

I'm having the same dillema right now. I have very little room so I will probably cram cylinders in but I hate the idea of leaks and oil dripping. I'll change seals, but I want to drive my ride, not just park it and look at it.



...as for unibody dropped cars... Here's the front of my VW so far. I have already raised the strut tops 2 inches by cutting out the whole stock inner fender and strut tower structure and starting over with tube.

Started by Sawzalling it all out...

Then bent up tube and welded up home made towers 2" higher...

...and now I hacked out the control arm mounts, engine mounts, and steering rack to raise those up above the pinch...

I've got that section trimmed and tacked back in place but I have to start the plating and reinforcement one of these days.

Next up is cutting out the rest of the floor and building a flat floor flush with the pinch so it'll lay out proper.

I also will have to narrow the front suspension so it'll tuck, narrowing control arms, tie rods, driveshafts, etc. lots of work ahead of me.





Oh.. and it's not technically a car.. it's an '81 VW Rabbit truck.. but it's basically a car since it's front drive unibody. Progress is damn slow but I hope to get crackin on it again this winter.

that v-dub rabbit truck will be sick laid out.. only seen a few off some vw websites and pics and are they are the poo!

anyone got pics of a 96 camry bagged or juiced...or got pics of the front setup...this is the one thing keeping from layin it

heres mine needs to be cut out a little more in the wheel wells front crossmember is about 1/2in off the ground and the rear cross member is about 1.5in off ground running 2 pump 4 dump kit with 8s in the front 10s in the rear

dont know how to post pics buy my civic lays on 20s
