• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Hrm...anybody waiting on these?

I guess it all depends on the price point, but I would certainly love to have a set. Timing is actually pretty good, we'll just have to see if it works out financially.

How do these compare to stock?
Direct bolt ins or what modifications are needed?
Will these save weight?
Poly bushings?
What is the power limit?
(Just to make sure) These are stronger, right? (The horizontal bushing looks weaker)
What types of tests have you put them through?
What are they made out of?
When/Where will these be available?
And the big question, How much?:th_scratchhead:
 
Very good questions. Not to put anybody down at all but i'll be keeping my stock ones...none the less awesome product and i imagine it took a long time and a lot of hard work to finish them up.

You need camber bolts

Yes
Poly bushings?
There are no bushings in this, spherical only
What is the power limit?
Can't give you an exact # yet
(Just to make sure) These are stronger, right? (The horizontal bushing looks weaker)
Much stronger, the stockers are designed to fold in a crash
What types of tests have you put them through?
Street and race driving, undergoing some computer analysis next week
What are they made out of?
Chomemoly 4130
When/Where will these be available?
I can't say yet, but probably 2 vendors in IL
And the big question, How much?:th_scratchhead:

Can't give a street price yet, but around $450-500 ready to bolt in with new knuckles included

BTW, not only does this prevent Tq steer and axle breakage, it improves traction. When you go WOT, it helps lift the subframe and push the tires down to grip. I had orginally modified stock LCA's to use the spehricals, and this showed up on the dyno, and street testing. Car hooks like crazy.

Hard to see in this vid, but you can see it working even with the car strapped down:

I started modding LCA's about 4 years ago, so yes there is some thought put into how they are designed to work...lol
 
Thats a little more than I had hoped, but given the construction and all, it would be well worth it. Will there be a choice in colors? Can you elaborate on the no bushings aspect some? Im not quite sure I understand.
 
Race only I take it, for liability reasons being sold as an off road only item guessing.

You should make another video on the dyno and have the camera set up on a stable (LOL) tripod filming the front wheel so we can see what your saying.

I follow you in your description though on what your saying.

4130 CR-MO good **** right there. Light and strong for what it is. Good Pick!

~F~

Parts and materials alone are almost $300 a set. So unless that comes down, the price has to stay where it is. A decent amount of labor has to go into these, Probably cost $800-1000 to have them made.

No bushings poly or rubber, just a smooth sliding bearing.
