Update:
Well went to war with the car today.
Decided to install my coil overs. Instead of taking 2 hours it took four hours due to some rusted on bolts.

Drivers side rear strut lower mount decided to weld itself on plus i think its the factory strut.

So you say you won't come off... meet my friend the cut off wheel.lol
I cut it, then it cut me. Notice blood on the cardboard.

But it was worth it the long run.

The highest part on the roof measures 48".
