2nd gen front subframe swap update
Update
Got to go for a very foggy drive in the car tonight. Love the new steering, brakes are gonna need more bleeding again however. This thing is great, the fast steering has made all the difference with being able to catch oversteer before it becomes excessive. This was my first good burn with it and it was still a shake-down, but I managed to get it pretty hung-out a few times and it was lovely. I need to re-aim my headlights however, couldn't even use hi-beam, guess the front ride-height may have increased.

good to hear Grant...
It would be nice if you write a short section so I can add it to the current swap PDF and update stuff as well since I think you did some stuff different than I did.

I'm not finished, but when I am and when I've had a chance to drive it for the summer I will gladly write another section for the PDF. I can also include some thoughts that only really pertain to a mainly street car.

P.S. I'm gonna copy what you did for the steering column this weekend, and I'm going to look at moving the whole subframe back a bit. I can't decided to grind the mounting holes on the subframe into ovals or to drill two more new holes in the frame further back.
