You could try to use the DJM 3 in drop arms, and fab up a coilover to make it work since the 2wd use coil overs like the full size.

Or you could de-crank the torsion beams and step notch the frame for the proper look.

Something like this shouldn't be too tough: http://www.syty.net/forums/showthrea...k+arm+coilover

Or better yet custom arms + coilovers: http://www.syty.net/forums/showthrea...k+arm+coilover
