I'm setting up the control arm lengths for the front. One thing I'd like to do is have just one spare lower arm for both front and rear.
Since I'm using the 7075 (or is that 7570?) aluminium I'm thinking that having such a long arm front won't be a problem.
It will put the mounts basically where the stock lowers mount anyway (to refresh your memories, the wheelbase has been shifted forward to bring the
engine back further toward the center.)
BTW the arms would be 36" eye to eye.

Can you find me another 35? That 60 is too big.

I think you should do a double d35 setup in the rear. Their cheap/practically free and 2 d35s add up to a d70 which I hear is as strong, if not stronger, than a 14bolt.:idea:
