WE can't wait to have you!!!!

Well, no go on this weekend.

AND, I did some spirited driving yesterday in the rain and could get it to hop, but I bet I could get any manual car to hop with what I was doing. lol

Just wanted to put that full disclosure out there.

I did some hard driving today on DRY roads and no hops at all.

I thought the new M3s were fast? Nope.

I have to admit, these things look pretty wicked.

I have the extra clearance creative steel trailing arms waiting to go on my car, I wonder if they would have clearance issues with braces like this. 54 what do you think...does it seem like you could run wide tire trailing arms with your setup? Would a bind at full travel be possible or something?

I have a set of trailing arms ready to test, just waiting for the moment.....we looked at it and built these to take up the least amount of space so we COULD run aftermarket trailing arms.

I am designing arms myself for my car to run 305s.....

These look pretty sweet, when will there be video of the undercarage? They look great and as a New CTS-V owner myself, anything to help stabilize the rear end would be worth the money.

He's not a vendor on the site, so I doubt any further info on making more for sale will be available on this thread.

I don't think he ever mentioned pursuing the project with the intent of manufacturing them and selling them. If he is that's news to me. I was just curious to see some more results (videos pictures etc.) as to how well they work or if they work.

He was saying in a thread somewhere (maybe this one) that he was between jobs. He had the shifter, he's been talking about an 8.8 kit and now these so it was looking like he was moving towards a little part time income.

If that's the case, I am sure he'll have a small but loyal following ...

Any updates on these? I launched hard on my favorite on-ramp Friday evening, the car felt like it was going to fold itself in half from the 1st to 2nd shift with all the cradle movement.
