Looks like I have the same manual. I am doing a 8.8 with the stock 4 link. I have a coil over in the front. Take a look at the pictures and tell me what I have. Looks like a fox body steering set up.

I am thinking about doing a rear coil over also, have not decided. Do you have a picture of how the coil over is set up in the rear?

Front is fox body. If you are going to stay with the 8.8 my set up won't work.

Miko just installed coil over on his Street Beast with 8.8. I will ask him to respond.

Thanks, I appreciate your help.

I got the 4 link sorted out today. It seems to be working properly now with the bushings moving as opposed to everything moving.

The bolts the PO had used were way too small and were allowing things to move around. There were some small gaps on the upper control arm mounts on the frame that I had to eliminate. The lower control arms looked good. I might upgrade all of these at a later date.

I am working on the front now and will post some new pictures tomorrow. The first front rotor cleaned up well.

A quick update. Installed new 4 link and shocks in the rear. Have a issue with the front coilover being too short. Installed tank and fuel lines.

Here's a link to a video update.
