DONT CUT UP YOUR CAR! There is no reason to do this. Some ppl cut them to allow room to reach their front camber adjustments. I would say with the current set up in stead of cutting up a your car i would buy extended top hats and i would also go with a aftermarket front camber kit. stay away from cheaper Skunk 2. Skunk 2's have a tendency to smack the strut towers.

DMX kits are cheaper check into those.

This car has ground control/koni strut set up, and upper control arms. Thats it. I can only imagine the strain on the upper and lower ball joints on this car.

If you build a proper suspension, you don't need to do something like this. and by proper i mean the following.

-A full bodied coilover(in which not only is the spring perch adjustable but the body itself)
-proper camber kit
-roll center adjusters to correct pinion angle( they replace the lower ball joint. they are longer units)
-and a proper alignment.

suspension is just more than putting some putting some sub-par coilovers on and dumping the shit out of it. it's all about research and planning.
