I am installing the dse speed kit 3 and have some questions. The mount for the control arm on the passenger side intrudes into the shock hole by approx 3/16 more than the driver side. Checked out a couple of posts and all the pics show the same thing. Is this normal? Does dse have their jig made right.(probably a stupid question) Just does not seem right.

Thanks for any input,
Erik

Thanks for the quick reply. Have you installed many of these? If so have you been happy with them.

Thanks again

They are nice peices,my 69 camaro was the same way and no problems, I found it difficult to adjust the coilovers...Just figured spending that kind of loot, and using proper tools you should be able to adjust the front coilovers without so much trouble...Good luck with project!

Yes I agree. I bought the speed kit 3 knowing they were not the easiest to adjust. Would love to find out there is an easier way. Have kicked around the idea of cutting the bottom of the control arm to make it and the coilover removable. I have heard this has been done. It would make adjustment very easy.
