Default Strange S-60 with DSE coilovers

Is anyone running a Strange S-60 for a GM A-body(Specificaly 68 Chevelle) with DSE's rear coil-over kit and running into any issue with the lower bracket of the kit not working on the S-60 without modificaion. I've heard that in some cases the angle of the shock mount on the S60 is not the same as a 12-Bot and causes a misalignment. Anyone run into this issue.

Yes, Me. you have to match the factory bracket angles and make the Strange brackets match those. The Strange reared will bolt up to the standard shock configuration, the reason there is a difference is that the Strange brackets are 90 degree off the tube and the stock aren't. The DSE bracket is designed around the stock rearend. It's not that difficult, just takes time. Randy Johnson at D&Z did the install, he would be good for a source. Also I may know someone that has the pictures of the install.
