The challenge is ending up with minimal bumpsteer. The pivot-to-pivot distance of the rack ends must be within about 1/2" of ideal. Because I really like lots of wheel travel, I had to make the control arms pretty long. That puts the inner pivots close to the car's center-line - and that makes the rack shorter than what is available on later cars.
