I'm not sure I understand the concern about needing a taller spring to clear the fender, but I had already rolled the fender lips to fit the 17x8" wheels. As you can see I'm using my own design control arms (very close to the RMP design) and the upper arms had to be taken in all the way to bring the tire comfortably inside the wheel well. I have my car lowered about 1 3/4".
The hub I'm using now is Wilwood part number 270-9320. It's designed to be used with a hat. The old Wilwood hub I was using stuck out further and also had to have a half inch spacer to make the wheel clear the upper ball joint.
The machine shop has told me for 3 weeks now that my caliper brackets would be ready next week. I'm starting to think he's just messing with me. I need to stop by tomorrow to see what's going on. Until everything is bolted together and I've actually swung it through the entire range of motion both up and down and lock to lock, I won't make any claims as to how well everything works. I had to have several parts re-machined because they didn't fit right. I paid for the re-work, so I don't think he has any reason to be upset with me, but I think that's when he lost his enthusiasm for my project.
