Sorry for late reply, holidays ya know! Rear control arm bushings are from Competition Engineering, the kit is availble through Ames Performance.
I have 1/2" inch inner sidewall to frame and outer sidewall to whel well, but that required wheelwell sheetmetal modifications and removal of factory fender skirt latch assemebly, as well as some trimming on the fenderskirts.
1/2" is not really enough, as I do still get very occasional rubbing, but is is very slight..not enough to damage the tire. 3/4" to 1" would be ideal but I was willing to cut it extra close.
I don't have boxed control arms on the car right now but do have a pair waiting to be installed...not really all that necessary unless you a have very healthy engine and steep rear gear.
