Default Two partial KARS kits

I was going through my stores looking for something and I came across these two old girls there was a mixup with original producer of these kits and that's why I have two kits.

They are missing the spacers for the bushings and there is no clamp between the differential in this kit

$500 each is your price shipped to you

Dont know if you could find them elsewhere

Instructions not included

I have a KARS III installed. Definitely a better setup than the BMR kit and it did help with the hop. Not 100% gone but MUCH more tame.

GLWS Naf.

Just do one of these with the cradle bushings and you won't need the rings that went around the stock bushings. Not only do these help tremendously with wheeel hop, it's a subframe connector so it really tightens up the back of the car. I left mine off when I did cradle bushings just too see how much the bushings helped and I didn't like the car without my Kars III on it. I think anybody that's been driving hard without one is missing out.

Interest piqued. Please explain in further detail the significance of the missing pieces, how that might affect performance, availability or feasibility of replacing said parts?

Thanks!

The reply right above yours possesses your answer.

The metal rings being replaced with new cradle bushings has an added bonus of better longevity.

Thats all these kits are missin

That explains the rings. What about this part:

"there is no clamp between the differential in this kit"

Thanks.

These braces came in different stages. The stage 3 had a pinion brace. These are just stage 2 (I don't recall the exact differences or stages) braces basically since it doesn't have the pinion brace or the rings. That said, it shouldn't really make much difference especially if you run this with cradle and diff bushings. The main thing that helped was just having the cradle bolted to the car to keep the area where the trailing arms mount from climbing or oscillating under hard acceleration.

If you want, i can add the pinion braces to it.

But i would need a couple weeks to make them.

Sale price wouldnt apply if you want the diff brace.

I'd say yes but check your pinion angles before and after.

Great to fix your anti hop.
