Looks like the rear subframe is mounted a little low... if you mount it up higher into the chassis you'll be able to lower the car more without the alignment getting out of spec. While you're at it, I would raise the mounting points of the top of the coilovers.

since starting this project I have completely changed the car several times.
Was going to just run the v8. then I decided on a English s13 axle with welder, then I decide, on s13 front end, and s13 brakes, then I decided on s13 coilovers and turreted the rear end, then I decided to scrap the safety devices cage and do it properly, …. And even now im still chaging my mind. its taking ages, but a wise man ones said theres no short cuts in doing something right. im not going to spare any expense on this as its at such a stage it would ruin the rest of the car.im even going as far as replacing and painting each nut and bolt. I would still do somethings diffrent like axle placement, but I wana see how this set up works first. I can rectify things as I go as im unsure of what its going to be like as this setup hasn’t been done before all in one car. Hopefull it will turn out like the picture in my head, lol J

This has kept my LS1 Corolla build inspiration alive, although not as baller as yours lol.
A+ Out of curiousity what is the real name for the things that allow you to flip the car over? I need to get a hold of one of those.
