It's what you learn after you know every thing that counts.

The arms look great.
the insanity continues, i installed one off the rear arm in the car so I can figure out where the trans needs to be. 20" travel is allot. At full bump it looks like it wants to put the back tires threw the side windo. :twisted:

no I had to notch it so it wouldn't. I tighten up all 4 bolts and there is still about an 1/8" of play in the calaper bracket. :?
