Default Rear tubs?

Anyone tubbed or mini-tubbed the rear of a street legal C4?

I read here or somewhere the other day that we are limited by the rear suspension design?

for an old thread but my car is at the chassis shop right now for a solid rear install.

We are doing a back half, tub, 4-link, fuel cell, etc.

I know there are probably a few guys who have done this and would love to see some pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds nice

Does anyone know if you can mini tub the C4's (early) with the IRS still intact?

I "thought" I saw someone saying it couldn't be done because of the way our frame rails are ???????????

But not sure . . . . .

It seems to me you could.

The other option would be to add some small flares (NOT the GS flares if you want it to look good IMHO) and mold/paint em' (there is a pic on here somewhere where a guy did that and it looks awesome)
