[quote name='Feds' date='May 3 2005, 07:52 PM']Am I going to have to be the guy that says:

"remove rear suspension, open hatch, place suspension in hatch"?

'Cause that seems really obvious. Maybe put a blanket down to save the carpet.

oops... sorry about the last nothing post...

It's a mid 80's rear axle. (not exactly sure what year) Brackets for the coil-overs were fabricated and welded to the original spring seats on the axle.

We got a little creative with the steering also - wanted a CP Racing rack & pinion conversion but couldn't wait out the quoted delivery timeframe... so we made our own and added a steering quickener.
