it has no tubs at all, we just rolled the fender lips a little in the back and alot in the front. The wheels 18X8 and 18X7. It just took alot of carefull measuring. The bolt in 4 link I believe is heidt's, but Id have to ask my buddy again which one he bought..this car is totally home built by him with some help by me. We are 24 years old, and it took just over a year. these smilies crack me up lol...:thankyou:
Sweeet! One of the best looking cars on the site.

Wheels are 18x7 and 18x8, and they are the Biggest that you could run and still drive it comfertably. The turning radius isnt great but its not bad with it aired up, any bigger might be too big. We had to do some control arm narrowing and modification up front to get it this low on those wheels, and it worked perfectly as you can see.. Its a Total Cost Involved 4 link with a narrowed 9", and no tubs or tub mods other then fender lip rolling. The airbag setup is all custom made, no kit at all.
