Alan,
Have you personally experienced difficulty installing a Putzke kit on an
undamaged car?
I've installed a couple of these kits and wonder if there would be any problem
installing the fronts unless the towers were tweaked, in which case the stock
shocks would have had the holes enlarged or distorted to accommodate the angled
bolt.
The koni and Putzke front kits both require long bolts through a top piece
where the holes are the same distance apart as on the stock lever shock.
Therefore if the shock tower is bent and the bolts are not parallel there would
be a problem necessitating repair of the shock tower before installation.
Just curious.
