Ok folks I'm totally stumped on my front c5 suspension mounting when I mounted the lower control arm level the c5 coilover would not mount to the arm because of the twist I've attached some pics of how I tried to remount the lower arm so shock mounts but everything is in a bind I've read all the measurements and angles but if someone could explain thing in plain English for a fat old tech challenged guy it woul really help meView attachment 153063View attachment 153064View attachment 153065View attachment 153066View attachment 153067

It’s in a bind because it’s designed to be. Mount the arms level, not the way the c5 is designed. You don’t need that much anti-dive.

You can either make custom mounts for the lower attach points that levels the lower coilover mount. Or find the trajectory of the end point of the upper coilover by putting it through the motions. The travel on these cars isn’t much.
