So the tabs on the ARB cross bar face the back of the car. If I flip the bar over leaving the shocks in their current position so the tabs face the front, it'll give me the 2" I need.Love race cars yet? It gets easier the longer you do it, I promise. One thing about the crossmember/arb issue. The shocks must be plumb front to back and left to right which only leaves one spot for them to be. Moving the back may screw up the geometry of the shocks so check this carefully. As far as the arb goes you can trim the arm length equally on both sides, mount it above the floor with longer strut rods, or mount it on the rear end housing. You have a lot more options in mounting the arb than the shocks. Worse comes to it you can mount the shocks to tabs on the frame rail instead of the cross member. Also the anti roll bar tabs can be mounted on the front or back of the housing or if you mount the arb directly to the housing you can mount the tabs to the frame rail. Do look at it like rocket science, you are smarter than the metal!
Thanks man! Need to see more updates on your car!making good progress...
The place I'd tie rear bars into would be the rear frame rails at the rear most point, w/ outriggers tied into the square ARB mount, maybe the C/O cross member for good measure. I'd think that thing ^^would flex.Managed to get the rear suspension 99% done. Have a little bit more welding to do but I ran out of time. Headed to the airport soon and had to pack. I did move the axle through its full range of motion to make sure nothing hits or binds. All looks good!
Next question is should I make the 2 rear bars that run from the main hoop to the back of the car tie into the coil over cross bar? If so, I think I'll just cut out the cage altogether. I know a guy trying to get rid of a Wolfe 10 pt cage for pretty cheap.
I'll be lurking around while I'm gone. Should be a 2 week trip.
They're single adjustable qa1s. Seem like good pieces, got them lightly usedLooks good. Who's coil overs are you running? Anti roll bar is pretty beefy.
Man, when we gonna see some LS action up in this beyotch?
Ah ok, well that's where they are now. Outriggers are entirely possible too.The place I'd tie rear bars into would be the rear frame rails at the rear most point, w/ outriggers tied into the square ARB mount, maybe the C/O cross member for good measure. I'd think that thing ^^would flex.
You're in my neck of the woods! Be careful out there.Well we are floating around by BP's Atlantis platform about 120 miles out of Port Fourchon, LA. (That's pronounced foo-shawn, btw). We are setting out sonar beacons on the seafloor for an upcoming umbilical lay in ~6800' of water.
These platforms are huge. Easily city block sized. The scale of size and depth out here is truly mind boggling.
Anyway, hoping to be home in 10-14 days and keep the project rolling. I'll try and post a few pics I have later of the platform and ROV control room.

My opinion is that twins are cool, but a single is less work to fabricate and half as much can go wrong. I was set on doing a twin setup on my car, but decided on a single for simplicity sake. I think it really is personal preference. You can get equal performance out of both setups with the correct turbos, so it just depends on how many headaches you can deal with.
