OK, last post of the evening. I pulled the caliper out of the mount on the right side just to make sure both sides were consistant. Sure enough they are, so I'll be milling about .060 off the bracket. I may look at some 2nd gen calipers and mounts.
Lastly, here's the sway bar mounts. the kit doesn't include links, only the bar-to-frame mount, and these simply don't fit. So here's a comparitive picture of the mount (left) as supplied by ADDCO, the factory mount (center), and the modified mount for fitment into the strut rod forward mounting bracket (right). You'll note that I still have some material to remove to allow the bolt holes to line up. I may even get annal and weld a washer to them and use a slightly longer bolt when I install them just so they can't move under any circumstances.
I should note here that the factory mount will work, using a couple of thick 5/16 washers between the mount and frame. I went through the trouble of modifying the ADDCO mounts simply because they are about twice the thickness steel as the stock units.
