I mouted them with the offset to the rear like most other cars do, but I guess I had thought wrong and mixed them up while painting. Just a thought when you get to that point! Ill definately be checking back in on this build

Good catch but I actually put them on that way on purpose to see how much caster I could get. I am shooting for 8 degrees. If it ends up with too much I will flip them back to the stock orientation and move the lower arm forward 3/4" to 1" to get the caster I want.

I also have a taller spindle on there so it will be a challenge to make the numbers work.
