I got spring perches on mine and it sits a little higher now and I'm still trying to figure that one out.

The coilovers are already sittin in the garage next to the long tubes

I would recommend you at least checking out the AJE Kmember. I had to use it for a Windsor swap, but when I got it I was very very happy with it. It's a great piece.

When I had the opportunity I installed a UPR tubular K-member and besides being a little louder over bumps I love it.

Its worth it, you'll save some weight.
