NICE work Freeskier. I've been watching your YouTube videos for a while, and have seen some of your posts, but just found this thread and connected the dots. With your new FC struts are you still using 450 Fr / 350 Rr spring rates? I'm gathering parts for a sbc conversion and looking at coilovers now, but mine will be a street car (not drift or race).
I've ridden in an FB with 350/200 springs, which felt pretty nice all around (compared to my stock 100/85 (?) springs), but I'm not sure if 350 will be enough with the weight of the small block.

if you get an explorer axle housing and shorten one side so both sides are the same you should be close!! Just get two of the short axles. I am going to have to trim my tunnel to get the offset housing to work
