seems like a waste of time & effort to me ,all that work to fabricate adjustable arms and in the end all you've got is a comercial front end designed for load carrying not handling,if you go with the Jag front for instance they come with full tuneability including anti dive/squat built in and you can even tune in the ackerman point for different wheel bases ,ya cant beat them they come with Kiiller brakes and they're holden stud pattern and they're fairly cheap well thats my 2 cents worth   cheers Merlin

Merlin where can you get this Jag set-up you speak of and what would cost be?

Or do you still have one under bench?

I hear you Merlin and in hindsight that would have been the way to go, but having already bought the dropped stubs and the bottom arms modified and crack tested I'm too far in to turn back now.

I was thinking of lowering my old girl, but seems a bit of a drama, will eventually throw these under the rear to fill the guards up, the fronts look similar, just thinner & more tread! with a gps speedo, that should sort it easy :)
