Make your own mini tubs and rear upper shock mount. Don't waste the cash on buying state-side and shipped etc etc.
What are you doing for rear end upper and lower control arm brackets. .
We make these ourselves out of Moly

Instant Center adjustments are great with our housings

The TeamZ is great don't get me wrong but when you factor in shipping and the dollar you get less per dollar. Our lower brackets are a must when you have a lowered stance and the upper helps with tire choice and track conditions. I'll ask our welder what he'd let one go for.
What are you going to use for an ARB ? I use the Competition Engineering and works great with a best of 1.28 60' time without really pushing it hard at all.

I was on the fence between the team z and comp engineering. My coil overs are comp engineering so would be nice to keep it the same. Yea let me know about the housings. I can strip mine down and bring it to your shop. Im not planning on lowering the stance to much, maybe only an inch or 2, about what yours looks like, trying to keep a " stock" apperance lol

My car is almost 4" lower than a stock stance. 2" lower makes a drastic impact on the instant center of the car.
As for the ARB the Comp.Eng piece is fine.
What spring rate are your rear coil over springs

Wow ..... That is insanely light. I hope you have really large spread adjustable shocks to control extension.

Yes sir. Text anytime.

I run 110's for the rear coils. . . . son unless your car will be over 3000lbs I'd stay right around the 110ish range or unless it's being made to round corners then 140+
