    doing it that way there is the E-brake issue. we flipped the pass. side bracket and then used the stock Mav/Comet E-brake system.
    he also sells a spacer, with ours we didn't use one and have had no problems.

    I had the impression that the 91-95 units did not have any interference issues?? I helped a friend install the 96-02 units on his car and he ended up using 1/2" blocks between the leafs and spring perch to clear the top of the leafs. I didn't like the thought of a shim/block and lowering the car, so I ended up re-clocking mine.

    Thanks for the compliment Everett!
