    I haven't actually measured it out but the turrets are much higher than standard height.

    No idea about the ride height yet it's really hard to gauge as the quarters have been hacked since the build started really I'll get a better idea when the new ones go on.

    Ive just looked up the position I had on my old tubs and how they related to the wheel position and it was as follows...






    So they were put in the stock position but just allow more inner well and shock clearance really. The masking tape line in pic 2 gives an indication of where a hatch arch would sit with the wheel about an inch from the top of the tub (from memory).

    Looking at this previous pic your bottom arms are nice and level here and looks like the wheel would tuck into the arch if you imagine it was still there running from the bumper line. Much lower and your arms could start reaching some interesting angles?

    Aye I think it should sit just in the arch,if it does without having to adjust the arms too much I'll be happy. He's done lots of careful measuring working out the heights of everything so hopefully comes together fine.

    Ah I see, I prob wouldn't have bothered if I didn't need to tbh. Looks much better being symmetrical though. The asymmetry of the standard tubs bug my happiness .

    I'll be more than happy if my wheels just sit in the arches. I'll have lots of adjustment on the coilovers though should be all good.

    Turrets look cool, will take the weight/stress much better and give more clearance. Plus i could rise them a bit, so my battery box would sit under my brace.

    You've deffo needed it all. And looks ace.
