Coilovers on Stock Arms?
I was curious as to the possibility of running a Coilover System w/Stock Control Arms? Would it be a waste or is it something thats a possibility? Could it be done and if so how high could you possible set your lift height too? I want to stay as low as possible with running 35s while having the best possible flex and ride.
Trailbud is running an EVO Coilover setup front and rear without long arms. I don't think they are factory arms, as he would need adjustable lowers at a minimum to get the caster back in.
Long arms can greatly increase ride though. So don't count them out.

Not really counting out the long-arms just wasnt sure if they would be a great improvement at the moderate lift I would be running with the coilovers as I plan flat fenders and some trimming to keep the COG as low as possible.
I have been told that you can run coilovers on stock arms but you would need cam bolts. IMO if your going to spend the cash on coilovers, you might as well get adjustable control arms if not long arms.
you can definitely run coilovers with short arms but as mentioned, i would highly recommend getting AT LEAST adjustable front lower arms to set your caster. if you have a 2-door, you will definitely need to get a new rear driveshaft and so you would also need to get a pair of adjustable rear uppers as well so that you can set your pinion angle.
