Default critique my work please

Ok I set the rear subframe in for the prostreet. I put it in place with a few heavy tack welds. I will bring it to a freinds to be TIG welded in soon. What I did was locate the center line of the frame. Then I set the A arms mounting points at the same height and set the lower 4 link mounting points at the same height. Useing the grease fittings on the upper ball joints to measure from I got the distance the same to the lower links mounting bolts both diagonaly and parallel to the frame rails while making sure the crossed strings intersected over the center line of the frame. This should insureall four suspension points are in line. correct? Any thoughts. The engine in tranny have in there is just to put some weight on the front suspension. Wanted to make the referance points as close as I could to when the car is on the road.
Thanks
Greg
