I can really see the difference on wheel placement: much, much better. I will verify alignment sometime soon. My guess is this may have added a little toe, and I want to run zero.

The spacers ended up being just a bit too thick, but a metal file made quick work of the issue: I ground off about half a millimeter off one side of each of the 1/2" spacers.

Here's a pic of the stock and F8x parts with a bolt holding them in the same place, to better compare lengths. The F8x tension strut is definitely longer.
Hey rwalker:

I appreciate the opportunity to participate in your project today and get to talk cars with a fellow enthusiast. I hope these work out for you. I am certainly interested to hear how you like them. The finished product looked great!

Thanks again for the hospitality,
John
