It is easier to see from the front of the engine- the heads are offset. Driver's side is farther forward than the passenger side, so.... the passenger side will be closer in the back. The old rule o

Why would you change front suspension to handle additional power? Did he convert the car to front wheel drive while he was at it? Makes no sense to me.
