Appreciate the feedback Blake. Car currently has 17x8 wheels with 5.125" backspace up front. Do you forsee this being a problem? sounds like it may be tight. Also good point on the adjustable steering stop, I had not considered that. I was looking at the high clearance arms as well, but not sure I feel about no droop stop on the uppers. Have you guys figured out an easy solution to add one?
