they fit rb25 and rb20's to them because of bonet clearence isues they are about 1 inch lower in deck height and the heads are a fair bit lower have you thought of spacing the k-frame down to creat more clearence this will raise the car slightly but with your coil overs you can ofset this. spacing the k-frame is a old tric used when u put a chev in to a commodore ya just have to make sure that ya stering rack still bolts to the stering shaft properly
