      I thought (briefly) about it. I also talked directly to Alston and to Mark Savitske. Both indicated that I should NOT do that with the SPC lower arms. I have some ideas as to what I'd do again - I'd make an adapter plate. However it's not important enough for me to rip the front end apart to do it now. Note that in that PDF, those are stock LCAs. The SPC unit is MUCH thicker and frankly, you never know what changes you'll make in the future. I would be very unhappy to cut them up and find out later that a future front suspension mod required the notches to not be there :(

      '66 GTO Vert Project "Red Ink", 462ci of stroked pontiac power, TKO600, SC&C Stg II+, Tubular lowers, Currectrac Rear suspension, Moser 12bolt w/Truetrack, Wilwood Master and discs all around, too much fun for words...
