Can anyone provide the measurements of the lower control arm's mounting point? See the attached image for the 3 lengths that I need. All measurements from inside the shock tower. Any questions, let me know and TIA :)

I would get you these measurements but my frame is at the galvanizer. If you do not have the measurements in a week or so I can help you out.

Many measurements of the frame are in the Workshop Manual, last page. Mostly to check if it is bent.

Yeah, I noticed that in the Chassis section, and [A] [N] [O] measurements are close, but nothing listed is what I am looking for that I saw. If I'm missing it, feel free to correct me.

I don't have my car apart or I'd measure for you. I just picked up s set of the DMCH Eibach springs and ill try and measure for you when I install them.

Metric system measurements are so nice. Maybe one day, the US will utilize it more often...

Yes, yes they are. However in the land of pickup trucks and farm machinery (Saskatchewan) IPS units are very prominent. They teach us both in university. But still metric is the way to go, it just makes more sense.
