Front's:

Special Modifications
Ride Tech Upper & Lower Arms
Mcgaughy Drop Spindle
1/4 Spacer
Bear Tracker Tie Rod Ends ( modified spindle mount )

I thought you were using your stock spindles? I talked with ride tech recently and they didn't recomend using a drop spindle with their front suspension for Gen 2.

and they were right. The car sits way to low.

Stock modified spindles are going back under the car.

Default rear suspension

Thanks for always keeping us updated with your build. Its quite an amazing car. Unique, simple but not over the top with fabrication.
What made you choose the Ride tech 4 link verses a Watts link? As far as it being a car with a budget in mind it seems like the watts link was the less costly option and still a proven design? Im still learning about a watts link setup and everything else that goes along with it and picking between those two options right now.
