raising the rear end

is it possible to raise the entire rear end in fc, meaning the subframe + diff?

instead of having a bushing/solid mount

like



which is kind of how it currently is

do something like



to correct some geometry from being super slammed.?

yea those cars are nissans, yes i like cars that are "too" low, stfu.

thanks

Those are solid sub frame spacers to replace your worn out bushings.

i understand what you are trying to do but if you raise the rear then you will throw off the pinion angle. i would try to figure out how to lower the sus arms...

If you don't correct geometry, you're asking for broken parts. one way or the other, something is going to give...and its going to either drive horribly, or break things.

Correct it, make it drive right when its slammed a 1/16th of an inch off the ground. I don't care how you destroy your car, just my .02 that if you're going to do it...you might as well do it right and avoid broken parts.

I raised mine a bunch, I installed the MMR bushings in so that everything was as high as possible. My diff/subframe/etc... contact the body directly, as in that picture of the S13.
