I think the 4 link will work well and I really wanted to do it (one of those things). my one issue is figuring out what shocks or better said lenght of shock to use.

I am looking for 275's up front and 315's in the rear. I opened up the rear wells enough to take the 315's but I am not sure if the 275's will work up front (read somewhere that they will).

BTW - I appreciate the time you are taking to talk to me about this. I have spent a lot of time this last year reading and researching and trying to balance what I would like to what will work. This is a long term project and I am trying to get the sheet metal done now but having some issues. I dont care about originality, I am interested in designing something that works. I am pretty creative and have some decent fabrication skills along with all of the tools (MIG, TIG, Plasma, Mil, lift, etc). The car is on a rotisserie right now.



275's will fit. If you have fab skills you can cut away the front bottom edges of the fender lip. Thats what you have to do with an A-body. An Ebody should have more room.

I'd go 5" to 5.25" backspacing with a 9" wide rim. But at 5.25" backspacing the tire will rub the frame at total wheel lock. If you are paralell parking in Manhattan with the car that may be the issue. OR just cut/bend/lip a 1"x3" triangle out of the front bottom fender lip and run 4.75 or 5" backspacing with a 17x9 rim.
