this shows brackets on rear end I beleive these are ok

The rear end brackets look fine... Though the pictures aren't super clear, I would consider the front bracketry a definite candidate for replacement...

I guess if it were mine, the first order of business would be to set the car at ride height. Might also want to remove the coilovers, figure where the mid-point of their travel is and set the rear at that height by either blocking up the frame or by fabbing up a pair of solid links the are the same length as the center of travel on the coilovers. With this done, you should be able to see what needs to be done to the front mounts....

Dave on center of travel are you talking about half way shock travel and thank you for helping. also these shocks are verticl shouldn't they later be placed on angle?

Yup, center of travel is half way on the travel of the coilover... Best to set ride height at 50% to 60% of this, depending on the valving of the shock and the spring selected...but all that is more on the technical side and best left for drag cars going after the ultimate in hook... I like my rear coilovers mounted at about 25 to 28 degrees, smooths the ride out some. It's not recomended to go beyond 30 degrees.....

Thanks dave and a thank you to brian have a starting poiint I understand a little bit now will set the way you said and get back to you just didn't know where to start with every bodys help here may be I can sort thru this thanks
