Default tracksport install questions (preparing for getting it ALL done thursday night ~4pm to 12am?)

front adjustment hole:
drill from below or above? I don't want to hit that AC line, but how do i get the angle right from above? maye i'll just stick a metal plate under/to the side of the AC line?

rear adjustment slot:
anyone have measurements as to where it goes and how wide it should be? (i want to learn from you mistakes here) :-)

fronts:
step 21 in install instructions say "Concentric shaft front dampers have a small tab at the top of the damper. These will require drilling of the upper suspension mount for proper clearance of the damper will be damaged." WTF does that mean and is it obvious? where do i drill??

rears:
is it obvious where to drill the hole on the "outboard flange of the mount" for the perch adapter locator screw? i dont think i have the "template".

is it just me or do the instructions fail to point out you have to remove the lower clevis bolt on the front to get the strut out??

picking up new hardware (locking nuts) tonight, nothing like preparing at last minute.

thanks!

Default From the bottom, string line it from the lower arm mount to the center of the strut mounting cup

area. Drill a small pilot hole to see where it comes out... if you do the drivers side first you'll have a pretty close reference for the other side.

The string is for the angle btw.
