the measurement in between the inner tie rod balljoint centers of the R&P Have to be the same as the measurement between the centers of the inner tie rods on the center-link. Thats If you mount the R&P in the same EXACT spot where the center link is now. If you have to mount the r&p lower, the measurement between centers would get wider, and if you need to go higher, it would get narrower.

Before you go trying to do this read up as much as you can on IFS. google up words such as "caster, camber, toe-in, bumpsteer, ackerman geometry, anti-dive angle, oversteer, understeer"

Front suspension is very very sensitive to dimension changes. Ive learned that the hard way. An 1/8th of an inch off could mean a whole lot of handling issues.
