That is some kind of classy! I was curious how the engine vibration isolation is incorporated into those mounts. I imagine there's some rubber or poly in there somewhere I'm missing.

I would like to know this as well as the front control arm mount. I will be running accuair e-level on mine as well and I like the way the mounts look.

You can find them at machine shop suppliers, you will have to drill and tap holes for the ball nut to attach to....

Nice idea on the carrier bearing spacer, they look like drop blocks. What did you use for them. Brake lines look good too.
