Default Creative Steel Trailing arm group buy! Wider wheels here we come!

Well, I will take the reins on this one as I would like a set!

Here is the thread with ALL of the information: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...ling-arms.html



To make it simple for everyone the arms that are for the group buy will be the ones with the spherical bushing (ballistic joint) on the subframe side, and the option of Creative Steel's greaseable bushing on the control arm side or not.

So fairly simple; All the same arm just plus or minus the bushing on the control arm side (your option).

Price without bushing :325$

Price with bushing: 365$

Prices are SHIPPED!!!




Pictures are of the arms without the ballistic joint and are another version Creative Steel offers

Once we get ten on the list Max will start building them and then we just need 2 more to complete the group buy! Any simple questions that I can answer feel free to PM me for my phone # as Max lives on the West coast...and I will answer my phone whenever you Forkers call in the wee hours. Plus it will not distract the man from his work building our arms! There will be no payment until we have all confirmed buyers! SO PLEASE! if you're interested cool, but if you decide to commit don't back out and screw the group, thats just no bueno. Lets hope for some interest, and Thank you!-Nik

Has anybody asked how wide a tire can be run with these (at stock rim diameter)



*edit* nevermind, I went and looked under my car. With my 285 tires, the next interference is ~3/4" when I would hit the shock. So I guess I could go from a 285 to a 305... not sure if that would require a new rim though.

Technically that 285 is too big for the 8.5 rim. 305 will look like balloons.

If you want to go wider you'll need Atleast a 9.5 rim
