[QUOTE="bubblehead93, post: 14833546, member: 96609"] only getting a hour or two afterwork to work on the car, after dinner and the kids go to bed... the MM rear race upper shock mounts came yesterday... got two sets of the "thrust cones" which go on the shock stud, one for my MM auto-x coil-over setup and another set which I shortened so that they would fit properly on the shorter QA1 rear shock stud while still properly engaging the spherical bearing in the upper shock mount... I'll take some pictures, but I had to shorten the "thrust cone" by about a 1/2" due to the shorter stud on the QA1s... that was most of my work last night, wish I had a bench-top lathe, on my wish list... Still need to drill a couple more holes to fit the upper shock mount, only have 2 of the 4 holes required on each side drilled... two you can come at from the trunk (the inboard ones)... the outboard ones on each side really need you to use the re-inforcing bracket as a guide so you can drill from underneath, from the wheel well... again I'll snap a couple pictures and it will make sense... after cutting, bending, hammering on the cross brace, I was considering tack welding the brace to the rear shock towers rather than trying to bolt it in, after all the hammering and bending, it could now be physically bolted, concerned the bolt heads will interfere with the coil-overs (it is that tight with the 2.5" ID springs)... we'll see... -- Andy [/QUOTE]
