That is a good mod and I have been playing with it myself at home. But i have not put this on the first page for 2 reasons.

1) AE is making new tower and it might make this mod null and void.
2) The mod is nice, but the creator did not provide enough details on the mod for it to be overly useful. What sized screws did he use in the counter sunk holes. Where did he get the screws (part number)? How far should the tower be moved back(mm/inches)? What size spacers for the wing mounts are needed and where to buy them?


This MOD is complicated enough that it requires more details to be posted on the first page. I was under the impression he was still testing and perfecting the mod. How it effect handing? Did the body need to be trimmed? etc. No offense to the MOD creator.

"If" this became "the mod" for BB shocks. It would be great if the exact hole placement could be determined and premade drilling templates were created for those interested. Ideally you could make it out of steel. Then bolt it to you u-brace and drill out the holes according to the template. Maybe make the template and the rear spacers and missing 5-40 FHS screws included. So like a "BB Tower mod conversion kit". If i had the resources and the mod tested well, I would do it.
