We have everything designed and programmed.

Right now it's timing.... and there are other projects in line.
On the Z side.... Front control arms for instance.
We are full tilt... getting ready for Mid Ohio next week and have races June and July.
If we can have a solid run at Mid Ohio... it will help things move along more smoothly in the fabrication dept at the shop.

Good luck!

I can't believe I'm just coming across this. Very very interested in both front and rear setups. I run true type coils (always).

PM pricing

Copy...
Sorry guys the shop has just been slaaaaaammed.
Everything has been noted.
This is a biiiiiiiiiiig week for us.... I can't emphasize BIG enough.
Looks like we prob won't be able to shake down the car before Thursday as there are still some odds n ends to sort out and finish.

But I do know that we will have a great weapon for the race.
If we can get through this week... and have a good race underneath our belts.. then we can start looking at $$$$ and production.

I have aluminum/delrin front upper arm bushings with added caster, urethane rear diff bushing, delrin rear subframe reinforcements.
Maybe delrin front lower bushings in a few months.

But I don't want to derail this thread. Perhaps we could start another thread or PM me if there's interest from the community.

Not that your post actually had a question... but I think that rather than going full assclown-defensive, maybe you could've explained the reasoning that went into the following statement:

So what? I believe that's the whole point... since apparently the others either give limited adjustment, or fail to hold over time.
