mine is a 8.8 as well
these fit the measurements the best, I am at 15.5 at ride height length, and 18.5 extended currently. These should give me the same range and ride in the middle of the shock stroke. went with 250lb Eibach springs, 14" to fit these coilovers. They are single adjustable, as are my fronts. Did not see a reason to go double adj as its a street car for me, will not see track time. I will be using UPR lower mount designed for the 8.8 rear end and recently sourced an upper mount from outcastautoworks. https://www.outcastautoworks.com/col...r-mounting-kit I put a pic of bracket in gallery, would not let me attach here

What version front shock/coilover spring rate are you using on the front?

Started to work on this today. Original springs were marked 225 so 250 on the coilovers should be ok. Everything went smooth so far. Watch the rear rollbar bracket for clearance. Fyi, the original carrera shocks were worn out. Also the top shock mount had bent the frame bracket slightly, so dual bolt mounts a must.. may have to reroute the brake lines slightly.

I saw your post on facebook! Very nice. I'm not gonna order my parts. You went with bearing not bushing on the shocks and control arms?
