I've done a search in the forums on installing the tubs and really didnt come up with much, found quite a few pictures of some nice installations but no real advice. I have all of the needed equipment and the skill level needed to do the work. Just looking to see if anybody had run into any problems or knew of any shortcuts. Also I have not bought the tubs yet but I am getting ready to order them, any vendors that have a deal on them ???? Do they come with any patterns for cutting and trimming the car ??? If I use the offset rear hangars (I have a set of speed-tech) how much room do I gain ??
I have 295/65/15 e-t street radials on a 15x10 4.5 bs billet specialty wheel that sets pretty much even with the outside of the 1/4 panel. My goal is to change backspace and pull the wheels in far enough to lower the ride heighth. I'm not gonna to narrow the rearend any further as I have brand new 35 spline strange axles in it. ANy advice would be greatly appreciated.

DSE offers a video on how to do the install. You will not find them any deals on DSE products either other than free shipping a couple times a year, even from their vendors. With their offset shackle kit you can run up to a 12" wheel.

If you have all equipment and can handle some fab work, just buy AMD inner wheelwells ,cut stock ones out leaving about 3" strip, trim the new ones and weld them in,it's fairly simple, $400 is about $200 too much for a set of tubs in bare steel IMO

I've got some good pictires in this gallary of the last install I did. http://www.autobspec.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=29 Might help out or might not. The DSE instuctions are very good in my opinion. If you follow them you should be fine.

agree the instructions are pretty easy... just dont bother with the dvd..

if you want to view the instructions i can email them.
