Just bought a harness bar/support and adjustable pan hard bar from bernard, installing later. Then comes the new set of rims and lowering!

I don't know a whole lot really about building suspension, what does extending your control arms do?

More wheel clearance when turning bigger/wider wheels inside the wheelwell, even if you're trying to squeeze out more steering angle, it gives you a bit more clearance. Also gives you camber without having to change/buy an adjustable top hat.

In my case, I can adjust my coilover top hat to 0 camber and because the arms are extended, it pushed out more (again wheelwell clearance.) so I still have the original camber, but i can push out the entire strut assembly outward.

What seats are those? I'm getting sick of barely squeezing my fat ass into the bucket seat in my car.

VatoZone Specials. You could sell those two and pick up a nicer single seat most likely . Just something to ponder maybe.

hey, I resent that! They are blow'reilly's specials okay haha

and yeah, I've been looking for some actual bride seats or something non folding that has an actual rail meant for an AE. These ones arent cutting it anymore, and the rails make them sit super high and far back

Thats what I mean. If you sold both for 200.00 you could pick up a new seat for 250-275.00 and make a bracket out of the stock rail.
