i had the coilovers on the front only. with 10" springs i could get the car pretty low with the perches adjusted all the way down. if you like low, you could go with 8"ers but on a driver i would stick with 10's. i did not have adjustable perches on the rear but i have seen some very simple setups(not coilovers) using various over the counter racing parts. i believe michael over on tbricks has a set, and i know tom smith has a set on his 242.fwiw, tom always treated me very fairly, does very nice work, and is an all around nice guy...
