The front suspension......

I use Koni double adjustable inserts. Significantly shorter than stock, which is why I had to shorted the struts to accomodate them (the amount removed is shown in one of the pics), but I have 1" of travel before the jounce rubbers contact at my ride height.

I also welded up the ball joint bolt and drilled and tapped the bottom of the strut to accept a 3/4" bolt. The bolt is hollow so I can use a screwdriver to adjust compression on the damper. The bolt goes through the 2 3/4" rod ends, which serve as the ball joint. The threaded tubes (gold in color) are attached to the chassis at the center to optimize the roll center geometry. I can adjust the track, wheelbase, caster and camber with these threaded tubes.

The top of the strut attaches to the chassis with a homemade camber plate, where I can also adjust camber (and the rebound adjustment on the damper).

The threaded spring perch sits on the strut.
