I would love to see pix!!

Thit is well built.  how much does it weigh?

Contact David at everydayxj I’m sure he has uprights for you at a good price.

Thats an easy answer and I can help.  The wishbone should be parallel with the road and in line with each other at ride height.  I think thats what you were asking for?  If not let me know.

Sorry it took me a bit to get answer this I have been very busy as fo late.  Let me know if this helps.

wow sounds like quite a project.  Got any pics??  I am assuming you are working on a classic Mustang? I would think you could do a mount similar to what I did for my Jaguar only specific to the modern IRS.

Other than using a hosting place like image shack the only other option would be for you to email them to me.  I can host them, and then send you the links to add to your posts.

When I first started my project I was able to compare an XJ and an E type and near as I could tell at the time everything was proportional.  in other words the LCA and the UCA were shortened the same amount.  With that in mind the upper mounts are probably moved in an amount that is the same as the difference  in distance between the E type and XJ type rear ends.

If you don't mind my asking what value does that # give you?  If you don't have the cage you have the advantage of mounting the coil overs in the most optimum location for both spring rate and configuration of your specific vehicle.  I understand that many people try to set these rear ends up the way Jag did and there are advantages to that but coil-over angle will only effect spring rate so it can easily be modified without effecting the OEM Jag design.

sorry about that I totally misunderstood what you were after.  I have a cage out in the garage and will get that measurement for you.

Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday.  Been dealing with snow removal after a storm.  When I measured I came up with about 13.25" center to center.  Let me know if you need anything else.

The closer to vertical you can make it the better off you will be.  The angle of the coil over reduces its total travel (coil over still has the same amount of travel but the suspension will have less travel before the coilover bottoms out) and it will reduce its effectiveness (less shock dampening less spring rate).  It sounds to me like you have accounted for these things (correct me if I am wrong) so if it was me I would try to get the coil over as vertical as possible and then make adjustment as needed to allow it to work within the confines of the fabrication and practicality.  email some pix and I can post them for you.

Unless you have any objections I am going to take the info from this post and put in on a new DazeCars "Mustang IRS success stories" web page. I get a lot of emails of people asking if I ever finished the project and I think what you have done will be a lot of help to them.

got it, Thanks!!!

How does it handle??  That looks like a fantastic install, in fact I am extremely impressed, especially with the upper shock mount, what a brilliant way to make them adjustable.  Thats a lot cleaner than the way I did it.

I have more pics, drawings, and can offer some tips from my experience. ONCE AGAIN .... ALL CREDIT TO DAZE!!!! YOU WILL RECOGNIZE HIS INSPIRATION FROM THE PICS HE POSTED LONG AGO! HE LED THE WAY, I FOLLOWED.

I will take everything you have in the way of pix and drawings and add them to the database I use to help others can you email it to me?  day at dazecars dot com
 

what process did you use to make the hat?  more specifically how you you align the mounting holes so the hat was properly centered??
