Will do, will have the aluminum "finished" product mounted up monday so I can get pics and a how-to done. Right now I have the steel one I made for prototype.
Red seems to be the color most want, so I will def get some made in red.

As far as alignment I will look into that. What you said may or may not be true. I just honestly dont know for sure. I will get an alignment before install, and then right after to see if there is any change.

The lower brace attaches to the two toe bolts. Those are the same bolts holding/ connecting to the spring perch. You could mark the toe bolts before removing them. But toe is so delicate it wouldn't be spot on.

yeah i agree which is why i said i wasnt sure, but havnt really looked to see if there was a secondary adjustment or something else holding it in. They didnt move much when i put the prototype on, but like you said. the toe adjustment is so delicate you cant tell by just looking at it.

I need to do an alignment anyway for some other reasons so i will be able to report some actual numbers on how bad it effects it.
