    Looks good, but if you drive it as hard as I do you may have an issue with the longer upper control arm reinforcement bolt. I put it in the same as you with the nut on the bottom but the bolt end that stuck out hit the control arm and eventually sheared the bolt. I reversed the new bolt and it looks to have a lot more clearance.

    Good catch. I did find that one was very close and added washers on top, but I think I will follow your advice and reverse the orientation.
