Usually coilovers are okay as long as they tie into the stock mounting points. Check the rules to be sure.
Most of them equate to the 4 K member bolts still mount the K, the UCA uses the stock mounting points, and the shock mounts to the stock point on the body which will need to be braced to support the weight of the car.

No doesn't effect it. Your shock is in stock location along with both of your control arms.

Quote:hey al whats up? yea mine is modded already and I have another completely stock one that I might modify. the one I have in the car is the original one and its beat up pretty bad. the front frame rail was bent way back in the mid 80s and I had willy hasik straiten out and align it but he also welded the k frame to the rail on the pass side front. so I want to fix all that mess.
