Richard,

The suspension was based on a Progressive Automotive crossmember and stock MII parts. I didn't cut either the upper A-arm or the lower spring support.

I got the 1" on the lower spring support by moving the mounting holes inboard and adjusting the strut rods accordingly. The uppers were scratch-built, as there was no way to move the pivot point inboard. I thought the slight change in relative length upper to lower might cause a problem, and I was prepared to remake the lowers, but it worked out fine.

I've attached a photo, which isn't very good. For the uppers, I bent a couple of pieces of heavy-wall DOM tubing and slotted the ends to accept a plate for the ball joint mount. The other end had 4-bar bushings. The crossbar was steel barstock with milled flats for the bolts on top and the mounting pads on bottom.

There was enough adjustment in the tie-rods that I didn't have to make any changes.
