    I have a question. It looks like the upper have angle to them. Looks like when I set them on my bench and they are level the front end shows 6 degrees and the other is 0. Any input?

    I cut out the middle and boxed them and reused the new rubber bushings. I was thinking of doing it the way you did but thought it would be too wide. Plus I guess I saved some weight. Right. Now I can go .001 of second faster in the quarter. Nice job they look good man

    Have come to a work stoppage do to the after market upper control arms. They are not the same as are stock ones. It is hard for me to box them in. so right now I am not sure if I want to keep going. I need some stock uppers and not sure if I want to spend any more money.
