It's just real low and will sit 3" to 2" below the LCA and not very protected. Like this... Let me know where you want me to take pictures. I doubt this is a shot you want but this is a view from the front of the car. Caliper hangs pretty low. Sorry for crappy cell phone picture. 8378848-forautoxcuda.jpg (140 downloads)

Don't make me come take inventory. I actually cleaned the garage up last night after I finished working on the car. It was a pain walking over boxes and finding other tools. That tool set still has all of its original tools and more. Btw... That was my friends ratchet.

I give him flak about the tools because when I sent them to him I included a note about keeping them all in the case so he could take a quick immediate inventory and know if something was missing. He also gets a bit for being the "kid" around here. Samy, clean up your room! We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse.

MuuMuu101 OP I got lucky at Woodward! Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 12,375 SoCal	So today I decided to stop thinking about the things that are stressing me out more in life and focus on a different, but arguably, less burdensome task. I finished putting together the entire front suspension and brake setup. I toqued everything but I haven't fiddled with my camber bolts because I'm not sure how to set those properly. I also installed my Hotchkis, Fox Adjustable shocks and right now I set them to the softest setting. I just hope when I start driving this thing it will be painless and I won't find things I overlooked or forgot. Right now, what I need to do is remake a couple of the front brakelines to make up for the front mounted calipers, swap out my rear shocks, install subframe connectors and sway bars, send it to an alignment shop, and some fluid based maintenance (oil change, add trans fluid, flush radiator, etc.) 8414648-SuspensionCompleted2.jpg (149 downloads)
