Looks good, I'm with Trev on this one though, I don't think you needed to move the bottom mounting point that much if you already modified the top, esp if your running the coilovers I see in the background. |

Yeah I had the new Struts on the car and the wheels bottomed out in the wheel wells. This was what I had to do to make them work. I dont think both of these mods will be needed to be done by everyone maybe just one of them. But this is what I had to do. The new Struts were all the way extened also. This will give me the adjustment I need. |

Quote: Are you using that brake for speed control or dyno help? or both
That's just a random picture I googled; I thought it might help give inspiration. As for the applications, I've seen these used on drag cars. Mostly dragsters with huge slicks, or show cars like a tubbed out Wyllis coupe or something. Ive heard about this in the rock crawling community, but never in racing.I personally would replace the trailing arms. |

I have mocked up the caliper and all I have to do is "notch" the new strut mount and it should work. |

That's good you're able to make it work still! Although you probably could have gotten away with some big front brakes, sense most of the braking comes from the front anyway. |

Here are the rear mounts - they came out great- Nice and strong    Dive shaft needs to be shifted a little but I designed the mount so I could do that.
