Here is another one to think about. This is CycloneKevins car. He grafted the A crossmember into the 32 crossmemnber. Do you think this will make the car sit highter than stock? I kinda do, if the whole A crossmember was put in it would be alot higher than the frame. This way it looks like he has saved the trunk floor but I wonder how high the car will sit?

I got an issue of Shop Rag, and the guy from Wilson Welding did a how to on installing an "A" cross member. It's what you got to do when you use a quick change.

Yea I am going to install one in mine too. He had sent me this as an alliterative to installing the whole crossmember but I think the car will just sit too high. I want it high but it look like that may make it taller than stock.


BTW in the shop rag issue did they mention anything about pushing the crossmember back an inch to center the rear wheel?

I checked it out last night, no mention of moving the xmember. They did use a T spring, said it would set lower using the T spring instead of using an A spring. Also said it did set a little higher than stock.
