Bob - I'm moving the locations 1/8" but I'm also moving the entire frame up 1/2" into the car by removing all the body mounts. These changes along with new UCAs and remounting them are all combining to give me an overall better front RC under dive.
I agree with you on bracing the rear LCA mounts. I'll be doing this once I have the engine back in so I can check for header clearance.
Another thing I am doing is moving the lower shock mount outward for better responsiveness. This is pretty scary for me since I'm no where near a professional welder/fab guy. Either way I already took the plunge and this is what I came up with over the weekend. Its a really tight fit but everything seems to work.
Not sure I mentioned it before but I did find something scary when pulling the car apart. The fuel vent must have been leaking inside the car. I could smell it once in a while when the tank was full but I though it was just a little bit of fumes. apparently it was coming out the vent and dripping in the car because the vent was angled and didn't reach too far out of the floors. Thats what I can gather from what I see. Either way there's no doubt that this will certainly be changed before the car gets back on any street or track
