No.. I can control hub to spindle placement @ this point.. Right now it sits about 3/8 in towards the spindle.. Lowers the car about 1 inch.. & a couple of other things that I will not disclose till prototypes are machined & fitted

At this time I am only making one set.. maybe two.. I don't know if I would take it any farther machining a set for my car.. Forging is expensive!! I could always sand cast like they did the orignals.. But $$$ for tooling is always a BIG factor!!
