would the GForce 1320 rear coilover kit provide more room once tubbed? Or is that not suitable for UK roads and more of a drag only setup?
What, you mean the arms? I dont really see how they help if the arch is still in the way.On the 2 we have done, the arm is not in the way and remains unmodified. Only if you cut more out and moved the damper top mount would it be necessary. But it has a solid outboard mount, which i certainly wouldn't use on the road.

Ahh, ok. Wrong item! Yes, that looks useful. Similar to the ute setup. You will still need to tub it though to make use of it. Much more tubbing than we have done will mean "adjustments" to the rear chassis legs by the spring seats. All this is assuming you retain full suspension travel. If you limit suspension travel you can buy yourself some extra space.

No, but that is what i thought you were referring too originally. What ever you do, the inner arch is in the way of significantly wider rubber, so you have to move it, or, come outboard.
If all out top speed isn't a priority, some nice custon work to "pump out" the rear wings would look great. Slice it all the way along the top of the quarter and push the whole wing out tapering in at both ends. Would be subtle yet give it a more muscular look.
like this?

i was just thinking that if you were to tub would this kit work on UK roads?
The Americans seem to like it alot, seems to work well at reducing 60ft times.
Just a thought if anyone was to mini tub.
Thats the reason Im asking as not going to win any top speed events but I do fancy getting the thing into the 10's. Spoke to Rog about going out but Ive yet to find anything that will look subtle enough.... Think Harrys 11" rims and 315's would get me where I want so long as the drive train held up, hence going back to tubbing now although my wheel is already very close to the strut at 10"!The Americans seem to like it alot, seems to work well at reducing 60ft times.

Chris @ Gforce1320 was doing a mini tub kit at one time?
Here is the link to the install of his mini tub. (it’s a long thread, and not just on tubing the best pictures are on page 1, 7 and 8)

Good luck with getting down in the 10s, that was my overall goal however mines on hold at present a long way form 10s

is it worth the bother and expense for the sake of an inch (ooer missus)? Looking at Harry's most of the width came from the wheelarch extensions. Going out is the way to go IMHO. What's the ballpark cost of tubbing?
I believe Harry has removed the outer wheel arch lip behind the arch extension to gain the extra width, I am also lead to believe the body kit was obscenely expensive. which ever way you go will be £s
