In the front the OBX install is pretty easy. You can install them unmodified, but you will lose a little of the adjustment because the adjuster will eventually hit the stock spring perch. I just cut off the stock spring perch, but I left about 4mm up from the welds for the sleeve to sit on. I used a cutting disc and finished it with a dremel. With the stock perch removed this is how low it can go. Extremo dump

I only used the stock jack when my car was too low to go on my old floor jack - jack it up enough to get the floor jack under there and that is it.

That's what I have to do. I've gotten used to doing it, so it's not really that much of a PITA anymore.

It wouldn't be a simple bolt on.

I've always had full coilovers. I bought the sleeves/springs on ebay and I feel cheap. :(
