I mounted them on the backside of the footwell area of the floor. There's at least 2" of clearance - they fit perfect. You can see the right side coils in this pic. the drivers side has way more room, but because of the steering column, you can't see them at all.

Detroit Speed makes some awsome suspenion products! Their sub-frames bolt on with no problems.. Doing a quadra link in the next couple of weeks on a 2nd gen Camaro.. The welding on the housing are :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

No problems with panel fitment and alignment. I did a test fit of the bare frame before I assembled it just to make sure. The swap went great, I had no problems. I didn't really know what to expect since all I had was an engine hoist, 6 jackstands, and 2 floor jacks. lol

What was pretty cool was we checked for squareness of the frame when I had it aligned on a pretty new Hunter alignment rack. It was perfect. I was surprised, to be honest, that it was dead nuts on. I had simply used the alignment dowel rod holes in the frame and body and cross measured in a few places.

Another interesting thing was that I had the car aligned 2 years ago when I finished it, and we got the thrust angle set at .01 degrees. After 2 years and 7,300 miles, it still measured .01 degrees. Pretty amazing that the quadralink never moved.

Car looks GREAT Scott !!!!...... but I have to ask you..... how long did that oil stay on the ground before you wiped it up :lol:

:lol: I don't remember, but I probably wiped it up right away. :D

I really like how clean that makes it look! :thumbsup:

Looks much better, but now I'm not so in love with the factory fuel rail. lol

LOL! It's like peeling an onion, once you get one layer peeled you see a better layer beneath it. That's how all of the projects snowball out of control!
I can't count how many of my projects have gone from say, updating the brakes,changing the radiator ( insert whatever part/system) into, " While were at it " and the next thing you know you're doing a frame off/full build LOL! I think it's a sickness we all share.

looking great scott where did you mount the coils?most people don't have any idea how difficult it is to hide all the wiring and make it clean.the difference is in the details.ps i realy like your camera too!

Looks 100% better Scott. That's a clean looking engine bay.:thumbsup:

Looks amazing Scott. I have a question as well. How do you like having the engine un-painted? It looks great and we have been going back and forth on this issue. Look vs. upkeep etc. I really like the look of yours, is it hard to keep clean? Thanks. :thumbsup:
