Thanks Joe.
Beam choice -- I replaced the entire front end because what I had was bent and tired. The adjustable beam wasn't much more that a standard beam and I liked the idea of having the adjustability. The research I did led me to go with the dropped spindles to keep the shocks and steering geometry stock while lowering the center of gravity for cornering. I've set up the beam to neutral height until I finish the car and get some miles on it. I'll experiment with lowering and raising it a bit to see how it feels with adjustments (softer/stiffer) to the Whiteline sway bars -- front and rear.

Chris V. -- that's a snow plow. Have you driven it that way?

That was just to satisfy my curiousity...it's much higher now since it'll be a daily driver when completed...I know others who have cars that low :shock: Here's a pic of one guys' beam:
