I've been searching the fourms and havn't had too much luck finding what I needed so I decided to try posting.
Im trying to find out the ride height for a Cuda1 style body kit for rd2, since I could only find veilside and if its possible to mix n' match parts. I like the cuda front, but wanna have veilside Side Skirts

The VS sideskirts also go up about 1/3 the way up your rear fender. It's gonna require some work.
Not to mention they are ugly as sin.

lol... Wow, I guess thats a bad idea then, but with the back end, I'm going to do something, I just not sure what yet, I wanna body kit, but the ride height is kinda a factor in which to get 'cause its a daily driver and I have to hit alot of big speed bumps.

If you just HAVE to have a body kit I would do just that, a KIT. not one pieced together by you (or eBay). Just lookin' out for ya man, not hatin'
a full 5 piece (the 5th being the hood) zefiro kit wouldn't be bad, a widebody kit soon to be released from flyryde (check www.myspace.com/flyryde / www.flyryde.com) might look swell, or just a simple lip kit (FLYRYDE'S TURBY SKIRTS called Type R skirts) are stock ride height and can be "lowered" with an add-on extenion (sort of like a lip for a sideskirt) or you can buy the TURBY style skirts with extension called the "Type-S" skirts.
That way you can find skirts that will MATCH your bodykit's flow and ride height.
But anywho, all of this is nay-say, you should just b00st. your car is pretty much sexy as hell (maybe if it were a couple years younger, wink1.gif ).

haha, dont worry bout it, I found that post funny. But I'll look into it. One of the reasons I wanna get a body for it now is 'cause I got 1,300 from a hail damage claim and gonna get it painted, wanted the kit to get painted with it if I could. Ya know, I think you got the wrong idea tho, I think it looks sexy this year, gets any younger it might lose the sexiness.
The boosting is something I wanna do to it, but at the same time I kinda wanna wait a bit before I do it.

You should get the Cuda 2 kit. Shits all over the Cuda 1 IMHO.
*Edit: I change my stance on that... Just had another look at phorq's car & it's pretty damn sweet! Get either Cuda 1 or 2, I reckon.

Mixing kits isn't that bad. I did with mine. Check out the Zefiro Evo sideskirts.
VS Front (fake VS, but you get the idea) and Zefiro Sides....
I know the VS front sits lower than the sides, but its not as noticable until you really look at it. Personally, with the Cuda kit, I'd just go with the whole kit. I like the Cuda skirts, but thats just a personal preference.
