Anyway, thanks for looking .....

I also spent a lot of time squaring up the front and rear wheel mounting surfaces, adjusting the front sub frame, moving the rear side-to-side, etc prior to welding on my upper perches....probably too much time!

All the measuring fun started at #75
Yes like jlwdvm said, we offset the mounting bracket bosses towards the center of the car on the mounting plate......I guess I should stop saying we I leave RideTech in January
