The above two door is a SAS. It took the Fabtech 1.5" and I am putting one 1/4" RC in the rear just in case I have a cooler back there.
I was planning this exact approach, when I found this thread. Couple of quick questions if you are willing:

1) The back end is very straight forward since it is just spacers on the factory studs. But the front end (Fabtech 1.5) introduces a 60 degree turn. Did you rotate the top hat (unbolt the coilover)? Or are the Bilstein reservoirs moved to a new orientation? Or what?

2) The back end can clearly take two of the RC spacers (same as the design for the front), is there any chance that a third would fit on the factory studs (I realize that this would be pushing it - but they are actually 3/16" thick each). Just looking at how much flexibility there is with this approach.

Thanks!

THE TOP HAT TURNS FOR THE FABTECH, THEY ARE INVISIBLE INSTALLED

THREE MAY PUSH IT, BUT THERE IS NO REASON YOU COULD NOT POP THE STUDS OFF AND INSTALL BOLTS. THE REAR IS SUPER EASY.

Thanks!
