I needed a new daily so I got a white/ wood 96. I got it from an older woman so everything is stock. I'm going to bag it soon but need to know how big to make the cups on the front/ rear. I'm not cutting the floor more than I have to in the rear because I want to keep the third row seat. I'm keeping all of the stock suspension minus the springs if possible, just want it to be adjustable and be able to drag. I do not need it to lay I have a car that lays already, just cannot drive anything stock for more than a couple days.

This is how low it will sit with no cutting to the frame in the rear and still has front fenderwells. Front crossmember is about1/2" off ground all the way down and back sits on frame. Was told if I notch the rear will have to extend upper arms 1" but havent messed with it yet. Was also told if I am going to go through all that trouble might as well bodydrop it...so I have been thinking about just doing all that at once.

I'm going to get new control arms so they do not bind up while traveling for the rear.

I need to know what size cups to use for the front.

I'm not planning to bodydrop the car for a while because my other car will be bodydropped before this one.
I'm just looking to do it really quick so it is adjustable.

Was not sure if the fullsize cups worked.

Cheapest price I found was 299 from summit.
I'm probably going to do a motor swap first, the LT1 is not a good motor in my opinion.
