that wont matter, i'm talking about the frame mounting points, i have heard that this kit doesnt go inline (we have posted a nice long thread on making these before). it will bind the suspension geometry if its not in a strait line, thats why i need a couple good pictures.. or else i'm going to have to order a different one.

Re: L-con Traction bar install writeup **17 pics**
by now everyone has heard or read on how/why/where to mount the radius rods on the traction bar... but also another thing to remember is that the radius rods, including the hiem joints, are anywhere from 18-22" in total length. That means that the radius rod is the longest part of the front suspension, which means even at full compression or droop, the angle is gonna be less extreme and circumfrence thinggy is gonna be greater, giving more buffer room for any "binding."
i dunno if thats totally accurate but thats how i visualized it when i built mine...
P.S. very nice instructions Stealth! like the others my fav was the 'install fast motor.'

like.. set the camera on the ground, directly infront of where one the the traction bars go and make it so i can see all the bolt points of the lower suspension to see if its inline.

You are not being very clear.
Draw a diagram of where, "directly infront of where one the the traction bars go"
The way I read your question, the last photo and the one that says, "place fast motor...", should give you the right view.

Josh,
It is perfect. Louie wouldn't let it out of the sop if it wasn't I promise. I watched the R&D for this setup myself ad I can garauntee you here is no binding whatsoever.
Steve.
if you really want to prove it all, jack the car up i the front and take the wheels off. take vid or pics of the suspension cycling From full droop to all the way compressed (upper arm touching the fender) this bar will alow for more of a range of movement then you will EVER need. Will not bind under ay circumstances.
as far as I know there as never been a question about this kit in particular being out of gometry. If there is a post you can link me to that is talking about this please let me know.

I was told to post this for you josh!
where did you "hear" that my kit dosent work? i wouldnt have engineering in my name if i didnt have engineering skills. this kit is absolutely perfect in all aspects of engineering and geometry. over 100 kits strong, and tested on over 600whp.
