Nothing installed yet, I've got to find some free time from school to get this done.
I agree way to much work but also why drill the holes in the SVX? I have been looking at doing a similar set up and rather than put holes in the car just press the mounting studs out of the mount, mark your hole pattern for the SVX on the top mount plate, redrill the mount plate and press in the studs. That way the only thing you modified was the suspension.
