Picked up Kit Friday evening and started the build yesterday AM. While mounting the lower tubular control arms we noticed the drivers side rear bracket mounting holes didn't with the forward bracket! Supposed to mount using the outside holes, appears the bracket is welded in a reversed position. Can only mount using outside of the front and the in side of the rear, technically looks OK but concerned this condition may create issues later in the build. Anyone ever had issues with this type of issue? Build is on hold until we talk with FFR tomorrow morning!

Thats a mistake, give them a call on Monday to find out how they'll resolve it. Thats too bad.

Yep, looks like an error. Good news is that, since you will be using the outer holes, you can actually build it as is.

Your lucky you are so close. I can't imagine starting the build and then have to wait again after waiting so long for it be delivered or picked up. F5's customer service has always been responsive and quick for me.
