Here is a picture from my gallery showing the lower shockie mount, I have made my mounts so the shockie is moved further inboard.
I feel that I am going to have to get stiffer rear springs than where recomended by Ian, this I suspect is due to leverage affect of moveing the pivot inboard.
The springs as recomended are probably ok if you mount the shockie straight above the normal mount.


In this second pic you get a better idea of how much further inboard they are mounted


While everyone is looking at this picture can you all give me your opinions regarding the fact that I have applied urethane to the mount between the control arm and the mount, I left the car with full weight overnight to allow the urethane to dry.
I did this as in normal driving position all the weight of the vehicle is transfered through the control arm but when lifting the vehicle of the ground the mount would lift away from the control arm by approx 3mm.
Now nothing moves.
Thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
