Jim, How heavy is the car? What is the tread width? What is the motion 
ratio of the coilovers? What is the shock rate of the coilovers? What is 
the wheel rate of the coilovers? How much movement do you have now? How 
far apart is the anti roll bar mounts? How long will the arms be? Lots 
of things to figure before you can make a SWAG.    Doug Odom in big ditch
