Mac, I guess you would also need to change the coil-overs. Because they haven't any isolation. How about the rear? Is it isolated? Better check if those motor mounts are solid. You'll need to toss those also. Get my point? How is it put? A Cobra snarls and bucks, rides hard and smells, Those are the good points, something like that. Value wise you have more to offer with performance parts. The car should be designed for the owner I guess. However, this is a market that cherishes originality, you have guys trying to replicate originals. Not saying this car comes near original. Heck people argue whether you should have a his and her roll bars or radio. Ask about a cup holder and someone will blast you here. All in fun maybe!

Have you noticed others pics? Pretty much all solid mounted. You can isolate one end and leave the Heim at the other. That's somewhat common. One thing that has my curiosity. The length of that link seems it pivots shorter than the OEM points. It would seem to me this would toe the front out in regard to jounce seeing it may have a shorter radius. Maybe the pivot points could be lengthened? You have two inner pivot holes? Also not sure you know, there are shortened LCA's made. I think the factory length is 14". Shortened or narrowed come in minus 5/8".

Not sure what or how, maybe home made. But pretty cheap looking in all honesty. The Heim or whatever it is.
