Good question Greg and Rick is partially right. On the original install, we used a dowel pin/subfr alignment tool along w the GM factory manual (actual Fischer frame straightening dimesnions manuals, not just the eBay repros). We got it to 1/8" tolerance.

At Cris' shop, in an effort to lower the car we modded the trans tunnel and installed Cris' 1/2 height subfr bushings which actually have tighter tolerances to the subframe holes.

When Brett and I decided to get it to 1/16, the bushings didn't allow Brett to jog the sub over to get us there so he had to do a little clearancing.

So yes, scope creep played a part for sure...
