I'm not trying to sound like a dick or anything but why would someone else's measurements help you? Wouldn't axle width, tire size, suspension type, etc change things? Or is this a stock car that you just want to beef up?

for the lowers i,d be inclined to use a round ladderbar crossmember upside down , and for the uppers i,d use some mounts built off the crossmember , if you stay with the 4link set-up , or i,d be inclined to swap the 4 link for a torquearm , then you only need the two lower mounts and a crossmember up front to mount the torquearm .

Im just trying to get ideas, but im probably going to beef up the stock suspension, i know others have made this rear crossmember section, i just thought maybe i could get the measurments so i could start fabing one up, but if not, ill eventually get under the car and get them.

Im going to either make solid lower control arms or use these traction bars i have that mount to the subframe connectors

thanks for the help and info
