    Yes your's may be on the side they first planed it, but if you could move it to the rear you would be better off i think.... i see in your pictures that it looks like it was rubbing on the end of the rack maybe as the car went into driveways where the a-arms moved up a lot... waiting to see the pictures from the rear...
    You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.

    I forgot to take pictures tonight, but I'll be back out there tomorrow. I did look at the arrangment of the front suspension tonight, and I don't think it's possible to move the front sway bar without considerable modification, but I could be wrong. Pictures will tell the story.

    I was hoping to get the brakes squared away tonight, but I was stopped by a part that wasnt bagged properly. Below is a picture of a pair of parts, one is correct, one is not. The one on the left is correct. I'll reorder and continue on with the intake gaskets.
