1. you will need to en large the shock bolt hole on the LCA, its only 7/16 needs to be 1/2 for the coil over bearing end and make a few 1/8 spacers to take up the extra room. 2. press out your LCA pivot shafts and machine a 3/8 x 24 thread into the back of them, that way you can retain the LCA from not wanting to pull loose from the pivot shaft, only the bushing is holding it on.locite it on with a washer to retain it. 3. brace the shock towers, it will want to twist the top of the frame rails in towards the motor and break the spot welds in the front frame rail in time. heres a pic of a new set of stock lower pivot shafts with a 3/8 x 24 thread in the back of them and a set of upper billet mounts heading Deigo Teds way i need the machine the spacers up for him yet Bondo

thanks, I also saw somewhere welding done on the LCA,s is this necessary?
Right here. Coil Over Conversion
Not to hi-jack, but do you guys think this is enough reinforcement for the uppers?
I don't know if I'm going to end up with the coil over deal or not, but before the car gets painted I want to make sure what I have would work...
