   Will need coilovers on the front and wont be able to use the back of the car at all or you will rub constantly. Having the arse on the floor looks shit btw.

   Problems will include it not looking any good like its broken/shit. You will also need to get a blanket to cover the car up couse it will look so shit.
   
   Also, wont be very pratical and it wont handle.

   it will not look any good and you will be fixing the driveshafts most of the time with other things.
