basically i just had two discs laser cut, then welded the two mounting plates to each one, they then bolt through the old spring seat into the boot area, springs are king springs and are 150lb, and shocks are gaz,
when you say welded the plates to each one do you mean to the coilover or too the car in the spring seat
?

The coil over shock mounts are welded to the laser cut ring. The laser cut ring with the welded on shock mount is then bolted into the factory spring seat on the car.
The bump stop in the middle of the factory spring seat has to be cut out before the ring is bolted in.
This photo shows the factory spring mount. Picture from this thread.

Solid axel - bellcranks could be mounted around or sub fllorpan with coilovers extended off that. Packaging wise would be a great option - however cost wise wouldnt be as cheap to fabricate billt bellcranks and rods than it would be to cut and shut floor pans/tubs and new subframes.

Anything is possible with money but never seen it on a torrie and I have never looked at doing it. Perhaps an oversight but everything is worth considering if only for the thought process.
