This build is way too cool! My hat is off to you for building your own springs. Do you start with a purchased main leaf, or are you also forming the eyes yourself?

Nice work.

Nice arms, Craig--they should avoid possible buckling issues. How far did the lower coilover mount wind up being below the actual arm? When I was mounting my RideTechs, it wound up being kind of a ridiculous challenge trying to figure out how to get optimum travel (on a relatively short-stroke shock), a 30% or so sag quantity, and a mount for the t-bar lower that wouldn't break. I think the lower mount wound up being about 1.5 inches or so below the arm. They took the beating at Thunderhill pretty well, I think...

One of us definitely needs some good paint--it's good that you'll be the one to take responsibility for cosmetics...

I got the rest of the parts last night, so I should be in good shape to have it together for autoX action this weekend.
