yeah the spring diameter is massive, has to be changed.

Grunterhunter: well i took some lower control arms off a sunny at the wreckers as that is what the all knowing (cough) Baz told me to do. they ended up being the same length as the stockies, but allowed for all the other larger stuff (steering arms etc.) to be bolted up with them. my car sits at a nice height at the front but has about 1 degree pos camber. this can't be remedied by extending the lower control arms as the wheels i am running would hit the guards.

the wheels you are running will play a big part in how it turns out - silvia type offset rims would allow for some extra length arms as they pull the wheel in close to the strut. i made mine around the rims i am running and i suggest you do something similar. i am going to end up needing adjustment in the camber from a camber top. i have a few theories about them so i'll be having a go at them soon...ish. definately making a custom setup like this for your car, but its easy to stuff it up, so keep researching as you are and you should end up with a good result.
