The top mount was simply a welded nut on the side that allowed a bolt to pass through the inside. I added the wonky top stud (that had to be bent to fit through the hole) to add triangulated strength to the mount, because the original mount only had the bolt secured to that weld plate.Were those mounts you made or were they part of a kit?
You're tubbing job is much larger than what I'm thinking about doing, Maybe add 1.25" at most to the tub. I'm wanting to maintain the shocks and springs seperate right now. Not so sure of the tire size that would fit with this idea.Only mount I really had to deal with is my lower control arm mount. I have to "redesign" Them because my housing cut was in it.

I like @madmike1157 's idea of wheel fit. I want the tires to tuck up under the quarter. I've rolled the quarters already and beat the hell out of the inner tub and maybe, just maybe could fit 285's if I get a panhard bar to keep things centered.
BTW, I love what you have done to your car. It's just more than I want to do. I have to keep my rear seat to keep up with the story I told my wife about this being a car we can haul the grandkids in.
Having beat the crap out of the inner panels may offer more than just what the mini-tubbing 1.25" would do.
I guess I need to start measuring at least once, eh @Noobz347? Haven't heard from you, wondering what you think too.
Baahaahaahaa...Oh yeah! Jeez, you gave me the hiccups! Yeah, let me toss that in there!
It does? hum.....My back seat fits great but I total respect. Good luck man

But I did do some trimming hahaha. But looks factory, that was my whole goal. I'll try and post some pictures when I get the timeIt does? hum.....
While that would be cool for a minute, can you imagine the noise that those things would make?But Im sayin... @madmike1157 , I'll bring my car down if you can make this for me.

Moving coil overs inward will hurt side to side weight transfer big time. Your car would more or less teeter totter over the suspension in turns because the most force to be absorbed when the car is turning is near the outer edge of the vehicle. You don't need to mini tub a fox to get good handling on the track for road course or AutoX. For starters, you just need to be able to run some sticky 275 tires on all four corners, good steering, and excellent braking to make it perform well.I am talking more about cornering, or auto crossing. I dont see where coilovers that far inboard could handle well with side to side motion, unless mounted at an angle to better handle the side to side weight transfer.
Not to start a whole new conversation, but, what would it take to fit 275's on the front. I haven't looked into this at all yet.Moving coil overs inward will hurt side to side weight transfer big time.

Tubular control arms and a lot of trimming/flaring on your front fendersNot to start a whole new conversation, but, what would it take to fit 275's on the front. I haven't looked into this at all yet.
Got the control arms, but I'm not wanting to mess with my freshly painted fenders, I think. Thanks man.Tubular control arms and a lot of trimming/flaring on your front fenders
