Nothing yet.
With my new job and Blake's busy schedule; today is the first day that we can get together to work on our cars.
I got some "special" RevShift cradle bushings that I would like to get installed first, but we really want to get the 8.8 stuff finished.
Thanks for being patient.

Ironically enough, doing Revshift's full 95A bushing kit, cured my wheel hop in dry weather. I'll need for it to rain, so I can test it in wet conditions.
I'm still up in the air about a set of BMR trailing arms and maybe a few other of their products before I swap in a CS 8.8 rear end.

Looks like I'll just end up going with a set of Creative Steel toe/trailing arms in a nice red powder coat, that way they will match the CS 8.8 I end up doing too.
Mind you, this is all depending on if I decide to upgrade to a V2 or not lol, I just can't wrap my head around their looks. To me, nothing beats the look of our V1s.

This is basically what chuck did for the Mallet car-I (and others) can attest it had NO wheel hop-stock rear end

They did not sell many "pieces parts" though. just did full builds so no one knew about it. This will install faster, and yield better results than any busing you can put in the rear.
Would you have a price to just send the "hard parts" and I can weld/install them here? I have a welder, but no efficient way to cut think steel.

ttt for the newbs.....and some updates.......18 months later....lol
As many of you know I go the 75D cradle bushings installed and then added these SubFrame Connectors along with them.
I can get it to hop in certain situations, but overall it is a dead hook, especially having an 8.8 now.....
NVH is definitely increased, but I don't mind it as it is only slightly noticeable, plus I need to replace some other suspension bushings which will help.....
I am not making these, but wanted others to see what we did.
