i was wondering if i have to make a notch where the rear trailing arm s bolted to the body, if you dont know where im talking bout its right where thr back seatbelts bolt to under the cushion? I took off my cans on the back and it still wont lay!! my Damn body kit is still about a 1/2 inch above where it needs to be and when you bounce the car it has a bouncy move to it???? thanks for your help, im trying to unibodydrop it!

yes you need to, but......the big problem is that there is a small link bar that runs horizontal and attaches the front of your trailing arms to to pivot on the unibody. This keeps the toe in/out set.....and maxs out right before the car lays. Your only options are to either staight axle the rear or "Z" the back part of your trailing arms.

Like harryballs said just z your trailing arm. If you don't want to cut them I have some dropped trailing arms I'll get rid of for about 250-300 plus shipping. I cut the very front off to try something so it just needs to be welded back on. Other then that they are good to go.

This is a Dumb ? but i cut the strut towers off my civic and it wouldnt lay in the rear so i got under the car and unbolted the farthest forward bolt on the rear arm, with out it, it lays nice and the suspension still feels stable, is this dangerous to drive with out it
