I already dealt with this at snowbirds and proved that the stock front end was much faster on this car.
True...but we never prgress without experimentation and I love to do that. While the stock front end did prove to be the best at the Snowbirds I and others are still nervous about the fragility of the IRS lower arm. The easiest solution would be to just replace them with machine lowered original AE arms...but this is more fun
