Fatheadjames if i was to raise the motor how much would it need to be lifted and what on the motor cause the car not to lay out? I really dont care about laying completely and wouldn't having miine lay out just like yours does. About how much did it cost to have the spindle and trailing arms sectioned or did you do them youerself? Draggin s10 I like the idea of having a straight axle. What size DOM did you use? I would really like to see pics of the rear setup if you have any. You can send your pics to www.bagged4doorcivic@aol.com

James pretty much answered it all, but if you haven't found my profile yet, there is a few pics in there that might help. Also I'll say that if I do this again I'm going with juice, it's just so much easier to fit and the lift is incredible.

chris I have looked at your civic plenty of time its just bad ass. I love all the work and detail that you have put in it.  One more question does the gas tank lay out when you unibody drop a civic?

After you drag the lower control arm mounts down some it does. Before I drug them down it sat about 3/4" off of the ground, but now it sits on the ground, not more dragging for me. Your car may be different since it's a different model, but I'd be willing to say it'll be the same.

Hey draggin s10 how did you connect the rear brake assembley to the the dead axle and do you have  any pics of the rear suspension with the dead axle in it.
