Iv got a type r integra s80 in mine and it's very short! Iv got the longer 96spec 4th and 5th and 98 1/2/3rd and it's still short but I don't plan on doing 120mph anywhere on d road so it's fine! S4c has 3.9 final drive? Mines 4.2, I should hav gotten h,d drive shafts and cvs but the mini ones are fine :) I plan on getting them tho ;) good way to spend 800€ :)
