Someone earlier stated it looked odd and I have to agree. Best to check the geometry now before going further and having to undo your good work.

Agreed Tricky, and I mentioned this point previously as the front upper wishbone is completely incorrectly positioned in relation to the lower wishbone and as can be seen clearly by this photograph, if both wishbones traverse any further into rebound then the front uprights will generate massive positive camber, then go into massive negative camber as the upper wishbone pivots over it's center point, plus toe in the front wheels at the same time. When loaded, any further movement into compression will generate massive negative camber changes and toe out the front wheels, so the relative positioning is completely off. I would be starting again on the front suspension with qualified and experienced guidance showing the way to set it up right.
