You can basically just assemble the sway bar and put the A-arm at the angle it will be when on the ground and see where it needs to go, then just try to match it to the other side.

A great idea but I already welded mine in the stock orientation prior to powdercoating. Clint had sent a picture with the center to center measurement and I zapped it in.
I have all but finished the front suspension work. I have the control arms on new bushings, the sway bars installed and finger tight for now, the new strut inserts installed, and the 22mm torsion bars in place. I really need to have the car down on its own weight for the next steps to tighten everything up and adjust the sway bar down link length. One of the next steps is to figure out where I need to put the torsion bar adjuster. With the new bushings, the arm swings down as far as the strut will allow it. I'm not sure where to orient the splined adjuster arm so that it will be roughly centered in the crossmember when I'm at my desired ride height. I guess it will be a trial and error process.
