    With the recent developments and intrests, especially my intrest, in support bars.. Is there a body dimension chart? I am curious and would like to know how far my towers are out of "spec".

    Dangit. Wish I woulda known to ask before I put it back together. I had no idea what to expect. I kinda thought there would be additional measurements straight across at the tops somewhere like center of shock hole to center of shock hole... Thanks for the info.

    I needed this same info several years ago when I was trying to figure out if my shock towers had moved inward. Maybe we could get a bunch of people to measure shock tower hole center-to-hole center and figure out a reference dimension.

    Good info, I'll have to take some measurements for the fun of it.

    I wish.. I just wonder how a solid bar fits from one car to the next. Seeks like it needs to be adjustable to fit AND push away once installed.
