narrowed rear on stock suspension cars.

[WeekendWarrior]

hey guys. im seeing alot of stock suspension cars with frame notches, and what looks like a narrowed rears with a nice deep rim. how are you guys doing this? are you moving the lower control arm mounts in on the rear and the frame? or just the rear? and whats the most that it could be done? 1.5"? 2"?

thanks guys

Bolt-In Rear Coil-Over Brackets for G-Body Finished!!!

Here are a few pics of my new rear suspension, complete with bolt-in coil-over mounts in the stock locations. The lower mounts were narrowed when the rear was narrowed by 1-1/2" on each end, which is why the coil-overs don't sit as angled as a stock shock. Greg

My 9" is "narrowed" a little bit, but just to get the tires right where I wanted them. You can't go too much because you run out of room with the brakes/lower control arm.

If you were gonna relocate the lower mounts, you might as well 4-link or ladder bar it.

On my 85 Monte SS I moved the frame rails inboard 2.5" each side which took the LCA mounts inboard the same amount, and notched the frame 1". then I moved the LCA mounts on the rear housing, inboard 2.5" each side and narrowed the rear end accordingly. I run 325-50 X 15 MT drag radials on 10" rims with 3.5" back space. Had to move the tubs in 3.5" also.

I moved my rear mount inboard and moved the front mount forward to keep the control arm the same length as factory
