Phat, Fatman sells shortened A-arms already shortened an 1 1/2". But we did these at home on a jig. No problem with the caster and camber. Front end shop had no problem with alinement. Yes the tie rods are shortened also. Sway bar ends are of course different, as you lose the stock attachment points in the shotening procces.They hook up by the means of 2 heim joints. I've got over 23,000 mi on the car with no problem. Have had it up over 120 mph. I've also driven it over 1150 mi in one 19 hr day. Does that sound like a car that does'nt handle or drive decent. Take the curves great also. Really suprised a Porshe one day. grin
