Do you plan to go as low as to roll the fenders or just right before so that theres no wheel gap?

Cool man,but you want to replace that canister. Its really not a good idea to remove that.

hmm anyone else have an opinion...from my understanding it wouldnt effect the fuel system as long as you keep the line comming from the tank unplugged..

California is more stringent when it comes to emission laws, most of us who live outside of CA don't have to worry about getting caught without one.

alright here we are......took about a hour and a half to drop rear subframe....removing the stock bushings is like cutting a tree down with you hand..not fun. All in all it is a lot more rigid and feels way nicer, expecially with coilovers. I did rear diff bushings and rear swaybar also. There is definately more drive train noise from rear diff bushings but its not the DD so im not too worried about it.. I may go up a half inch up front and possibly a inch in rear.empty!SEX!!

man my diff bushings were so shot the diff would jackhammer the bottom of the car when I upshifted or downshifted ;\

Looks like you're on the right path I agree it has to come up just a tad in the rear and possibly put some spacers on to get the offset perfect.
