Are your lower control arm mounts factory where the coilovers bolt in, or are they modified somehow on the bottom?

Thanks guys and yes direct fit. Acually you drill the holes to make them bigger and use a supplied bolt and nut.

Love the build. Def some cool stuff going on. Interesting in that rear set up for sure. Is there a reason why the bovs are angled away from the turbo. that seems opposite to the flow of pressure surge they are intended to combat. What you think?

The reason for having a bov is so you dont get a pressure surge going back from the tb to the turbo, so during compressor surge you have air flowing the opposite way.

The reason theyre angled is cause i wanted something diff that looks nice. And i dont think ill have trouble releasing any pressure with these bov's despite the angle. These suckers are huge lol.

Dam that's definitely mild to wild. What size TB are you running? Also what gear ratio are you planning on running for the 1/4?
