Default skunk2 lower control arm Installation

hi, guys:

Anyone can help me to explain in detail on the proper installation instruction of Skunk2 Lower Control Arm? I do a count, there is 10 mounting holes (3 smaller ones in the middle, what are they for?)?

On the right as in the url below, there is 3 mounting holes, they are for bolting on the coilover. Can someone explain to me, what difference will it make to the suspension if I change the mounting hole from 1 to the other? What about the 3 mounting holes on the LEFT?

Thanks.

The only holes you use are the ones with the bushings in them. The others are just there for looks and to decrease weight.

hi:

Thank.

Someone also told me that the middle 3 holes are for the mounting of anti-roll bar using the endlink.

Can someone please help as I am sure skunk2 LCArm is very common with you guys?

Damn, how can you not figure out how to swap LCA's? Look at the one on the car and put it back exactly how you've taken the old one off, simple! The 3 little holes are for swaybar endlinks

What?

I'm pretty shure the smaller holes are for your sway bar(end links) mounting holes.

I thought he meant those holes too. For the 3 end link holes...those are for soft/med/hard correct?

WOW People! The three threaded holes are for the sway bar endlink to bolt on to.
