Layin out a civic

we notched the strut towers in order for the upper arms to clear when it's laid out,that got me another 3" or so

I had to notch the sub frame to almost get mine to lay out on 18's in the front I am also going to have to shorten the front spindles b/c my upper ball joint is binding against the spindle I have some pics on my profile of what i had cut first. in the back it will lay with just rebuilding new strut towers. Also there are drop spindles front and rear from ryane motorsports. theres a kid with a 92-95 coupe on here with them. i think his name is fatheadjames
