Don't look like the same car I saw a couple months ago. I can not wait to see it finished.

The car uses Fatman 2" drop Spindles with Killer Customs Tublar Upper Control Arms for the best geometry and no upper Ball joint bind ( as i have seen is a major problem with the brand of upper arm we started with i would check yours if the car is low)
and QA1 adjusted all the way down.......... as for how much we lowered it i am juessing at 3 to 3.5

Did you run into the famous Fat Man steering arm to wheel interference yet?

Car is coming along very nice.

We had changed to a Unisteer rack, and they supply arms that are a little shorter in length to increase the steering. we have 19" front wheels and YES we had to mill off 1/4" on the tie rod mounting surface and re taper the bore. and now there is about 3/16 clearance from the tie rod end to wheel. but that is also with an offset hub we built to move the wheel in 5/8 of an inch to reduce the scrub and give more inner wheel well clearance

Not a big deal
