$175 a set.
What do you get? 4 delrin offset bushings, steel sleeves, machine screws, instructions, and about .5 more camber than you have right now. And all ESP legal if you happen to care about rules. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Not cheap, because they weren't easy to get made and that costs money (especially in limited quantities). I've got 16 sets total. Some are already sold or "reserved" by customers I know will be buying them. I figure I have 10 sets up for grabs right now, and if there is a need, I'll make more. |

RacerX, Got any install pointers for the rest of the crowd? Thanks, -John Not really, they went together pretty easily. Just drill your set screw holes straighter than I did so nobody will accuse you of being A ) cross-eyed or B ) drunk. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Per side it was something like.... 15 minutes to get the arm out What felt like 2 flippin hours to burn out the old bushings and clean up the shells. 10 minutes to press in the bushings 10 minutes to install the set screws (need a 10-32 tap but screws are included) 15 minutes to button everything back up There are some pretty good directions included if you've never tackled anything like this before. I installed mine with a loaner ball joint tool from O'Reilly. A bench vise would probably work but I have no bench and no vise. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Then again, I don't know if that really matters? -John |

Just your basic Home Depot propane plumbers torch.
