If I do all the work myself it should cost around $400. The part I will like is I will be able to adjust my ride height. Well see it go's

I've yet to see a pair of "high end" coil-overs cost less than $400 alone (much less the rest of the the rear suspension parts for $400 total). I'll have to look your parts source up as I've never heard of them.

Component Engineering is the brand?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I guess I should have stated the $400 was for the metal to build the 2 link. As far as the shocks, they are the C2770 which are around $450 which a friend had in his shop brand new and is giving those to me an it's Competition Engineering! Sorry for the misspell.

Re: bolt on 4 link coilover??

What kind of 2 link are you building? A converging link or a parallel link?

Ever thought of using a Trailing arm set-up?
