Sound's good to me.

Maximum motorsport make some great stuff. I relly like the adj. lower control arms. My buddy is running them and there great. I hope to be getting mine for X-mas

Those springs are a bit too stiff for the street, unless you plan to do some RRacing or extreme AutoX.

I have 700s front and 170 rear, and trust me it is hard but can live with it.

The Tokicos you selected are good, but with those springs i rather have some adjustability like with the Tokico Illumina´s.

Is the full lenth subframe the one you have to cut the floor pan for then weld in?

Nice combination slow5 0.. Maximum componenets are top notch and won't disappoint. You are gonna love the improvement!

As GTraptor pointed out the Tokico's you selected are good but as GRaptor pointed out, you might be better of with Tokico Illumina´s for the adjustability. I have them in my 92 ragtop and really like the 5 way adjustable feature.

Be sure to keep us all posted.

I guess sub frame connectors like those sold by Griggs where you have to cut the floor pan and weld-in are also full length but generally full length sub frame connectors are referred to those that run the full length of the sub frames and are either welded or bolted onto the subframes from underneath the car. They do not require modifications to the floor pan.

I just think of the type where you have to cut the floor when somebody say "full lenth". My mistake
