Track version? BUMPS and pot holes.. these hang about 1.5" below the belly pan and 1/2" below the sway bar -- so, it will hit something.

The template is super easy, just use cardboard, and trace the radius arm, trim to shape -- that is it! VERY simple.

Then I cut more abs to make the screw pads, use Oatey ABS cement (black) you get from Lowes or Home Depot (JB Weld would work also), then just sand both sides of the pads, and 'stack/glue' them!

I make one set of pads 'wider' so I had some room to setup the other two. It really is that easy. The cardboard template is 'reversable' -- once you done one side turn it over and then you have the other side precut...

Nothing more that tracing the radius arm and cutting/filing to shape...

ABS is more forgiving and is 'malleable' to the radius arm so, I can also use a heat gun to form it as needed, but, one sheet and screw pads was all I needed...

Thanks for asking!
