    hi guys, i need to drop the **** out of the rear of this(like 8") without out cutting the frame up. is it practical to drop the spring down in front of the banjo A axle? i've not had much luck finding pictures of this. i've seen a few done on T axles. i will be running a banger with juice drum brakes. any chance you could share some pics/ideas of how to attach the spring like this? is it possible/difficult to spin the banjo axle housing upside down?
    thanks!

    If you flip the rear axle over, the car will go backwards. Of course you can put the spring in front of or behind the axle, but if you don't move the crossmember, your wheelbase will be thrown way off.

    A combination of a mild Z in the frame and a de-arched spring would do the trick.

    it's okay if the wheel base changes, i'll make up the difference in the drivetrain.
