Just a suggestion, but if you’re going to do some countersinking you might want to consider countersinking the Carbon Damper Mount Plate (item# 54351). The instructions have you fasten the large ball end and spacers with a lock nut from the bottom of the plate. The nut ends up hanging down about 3mm. When the rear pod pivots forward the nut can bottom out on the top of your battery or electronics, depending on your configuration. Keep in mind I was testing fitting this with no shock on the car. I decided to save myself some hassles down the road and just countersunk the hole when I did the chassis. When it’s done just use a countersunk screw (3x8 or 3x10) from the bottom, spacer(s) and a ball nut.
