Ron,

Any reason why you didn't go with coil-overs mounted to the stock p/u points?  It seems you would have had a lot more flexibility with mounting, shock travel and spring rates?

With the bump-stops in place, the front can only be lowered ~3/4", so I assume you've removed them?   Also, the stock ride-height at the front x-member is about 5" or as I remember VERY close to the IT minimum.  Have the rules changed to allow basically a 2" ride height?

The JH front swing-arm length is about 50"-70" in stock form, I figure if you lowered the car 3" your swing arm length is in the 30"-50" range?  I read in a chassis book somewhere  that 100"-125" was fairly desirable.  Can you confirm?
