RaceCraft front suspension http://www.racecraft.com/index.php?m...dex&cPath=7_23
Looks like some really nice stuff, all together. I've been really happy with the few parts I have so far of theirs. Anyone running there stuff?
Post up what you think of the stuff, good, bad, what you would change or do diffrently.

ya I wouldn't want full 2. Just 1 also I would think, but would look inot it more.
I taked to mark on the phone a few months ago shortly about it. And he said it fixes issues about putting the LCA back more in the postion like there designed for on a lower car. I can see that for sure. And I think helps with the maunual racks, or his lower the outer tierod arms for it too?
But My car isn't that low in the front. My wheel well lip is only somthing like 27 27 1/2F and 28 28 1/4 in the rear. Street drive it with the air damn so not as low and some cars.

If you want a 1 inch rop call Burkhart, that's what I went with (their whole front end).... I did a 1 inch narrow on each side in the front and a 1 inch drop, fit perfect and gave just the drop I wanted.
2 inch, I agree would be too much, you'd have to put a 28 inch front runner on the car, then remove the fender liners so the tire wouldn't hit them, etc.etc. Doable, but alot more work and somewhat counteractive, other then having the bigger tire to rollout, giveing you a slight rolling start off the line moreso then a 26 sill give ya. Just have to get your reaction times adjusted to the larger tire.

I used Eric @ Midwest Chassis for my whole front end set-up. When my chassis guy Dennis @ DMC Racing saw the stuff he said that it was really well built and they did a killer job with it. Dennis has built some of the best cars out their and coming from him means a lot.
So I would really call Midwest and talk with Eric. He will make it however you want and is great to work with. + He a supporter of a lot of people here.

I live 15 minutes from Racecrafts shop. I was shooting the breeze with the owner, I asked him about quality and alot of other questions, he said a customer had been using the drag race spindles for road racing which they do not rec., of course, for the last two years. He said they got him a set of spindles for road course racing as soon as they found out.
That's when I decide to get suspension parts from them, quality and service.
