Good spot on the rear lower wishbones, but those are standard with most Predators and Predator XT's. The early webbed versions came later on. And even then sometimes older stock parts were used in later kits to use them up.
Wishbones were an item changed regulary, as they were constantly strengthened and tweaked. The really early front upper wishbones were even less than you see here. And of course people retro-fitted later parts onto their cars when the orignals broke.
There are other examples of using earlier parts on later kits - for example there the XK5 was always supposed to be 100% red anodized, but old stock Blue anodized International parts were sometimes bundled in with the XK5 kits.
Just a good way of using up old parts.
