it was easy.... I recentered axles to wheel wells.. and measured and squared up where the replacement spring perches sat. ( starting at the front perch of rear axle,) This was the most critical part, as if you wind up being off, it will never track or drive straight.. make several measurents...
No worries on the 20 questions... it does pretty decent onroad... Im happy with it's manners.... it does have a touch more body roll, and old school road manners... but Iam used to it and don't let anyone else drive it. Now granted, with the current wheel size, and the gearing from 400, I...
