Arthur, Yes the front track did change. I’m about 3 inches wider. I think the fabricator for the front clip did not take into account the set back difference from Corvette wheels and regular wheels. I am thinking of changing the spindles or hubs if possible to reduce the 3 inches. I am running old BFG’s that are 25.5 inches in diameter, which hit the rear of the left wheel well when turning left. I can live with it now but I need new tires and all the tires I like are 26.5 inches in diameter.
The new angle on the Sweet steering rack necessitated grinding on the u-joint to allow it to rotate. Other than that it worked out OK. Same location.
Thanks for the info on Anti-Dive, I wondered about that.
Good luck on your IFS, it sounds like a good way to go.
