Robbie, so do you just have some short 2.5" coil springs in the rear? Or is there some sort of coilover system?

Nope, I'm a strong beliver of the saying "if you have to ask, you shouldn't be doing it"

Remove the unit, cut and flare and tee some brake lines and cut out the harness.
It was very simple if you know how to bend and flare brakelines.

that came out the wrong way, didnt want to sound like a dick at all, but for something as simple as deleting a component from a car it seems like anyone capable of doing it should be able to look at it and figure out how to do it.

But like spencer said, unless you are gutting the bay there is no point in deleting it, its more hassle than its worth.

i guess from what i can see, i still dont consider it a finished tuck but for the most part it was done. i have yet to see anything similar tho. You have the capability to do the same ;)
