Front suspension experimentation
Yes, the arms travel up/down very smoothly and easily....that's one reason I used them as I knew I would be doing a lot of alignments and with bushings it's sometimes tough to get good repeatability.
Yes, I had to trim the mount bracket a little....if someone is opposed to this, the arms can be made to exit the bushing area at 90 degrees which negates the need for trimming. I wanted to keep the bend in the front leg less severe so I did it this way. With the jig I made, there are a lot of options that can be produced.
I haven't looked at Koni's but they're out of budget anyway! I like to use 'daily driver' level parts when it comes to shocks.
yeah....the strut rods they sell don't have the taper where it fits the LCA, seems kinda cheap.
