Lowered front end recipe w/stock alignment

I just used my project 911 as a guinea pig to try a lowered front suspension and keep stock driveability.

I had to reindex the front t-bar.

It has
1) turbo tie rods
2) elephant racing tie rod ends with bump steer spacers
3) weltmeister bump steer kit steering rack spacers
4) elephant racing strut tower quick adjust camber plate

The tie rod end spacers and steering rack spacers were able to compensate the lowering enough to keep the tie rod ends exactly level with the steering rack.

The shocks still seems to have plenty of room before bottoming out, though the front feels a tiny bit stiffer.

The quick adjust camber plates provide an additional +- 1.25 degree adjustment which made stock wheel alignment easier to achieve.

Overall it feels stock, no tramlining or bump steer.

Here's what it looks like; the front is 1/4" lower than the rear.
