[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16529216, member: 70025"] Then on Sunday I wanted to mock up my front suspension. I needed to do this to see if there were any problems here since this is the major change I made to the entire set up. [ATTACH=full]1673890[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1673891[/ATTACH] Wilwood makes it easy by placing arrows on their products. Even the calipers have arrows on them. [ATTACH=full]1673892[/ATTACH] Here I was making sure my wheels cleared the caliper. In my last set up I needed to place a 1/4 inch spacer to clear, but here the wheel clears the brake set up. [ATTACH=full]1673895[/ATTACH] I then turned the wheel frame to frame (way further than it will turn with the rack) to ensure it cleared the frame rail support system. [ATTACH=full]1673896[/ATTACH] Here you can see the rear of the wheel lines up dead center of the factory pocket in the frame rail. I'm really stocked about this. This indicates I got the Mustang II front crossmember and shock mounts mounted "exactly" where they are supposed to be.
