we are gonna be able to start shipping rearend assys now in 4 weeks. as time goes by, we will be getting caught up and lead times will shorten significantly. i have more help now than ever before and things are moving much better. my goal is to be able to ship within 4-5 days within the next 60 days. we will be building a stock of the common housings. the custom ones will obviously take a few more days at that time.

To bad its an 1.5 hour drive I would have been willing to help I've even done some tig welding in the last couple weeks. After 10+ years I have to say I was a little rusty

I ordered mine last week and was told 4 weeks. If the 10 bolt goes (its already failing) and 4 weeks goes by, I may have to go another route. The car is my daily driver.

erik you shoulda made the lca brackets with 5 holes or even 6...i finally figured out why i couldent hook...had my lca in the lowest hole and still have wheel hop...put my stock springs back in and cut a 1.51 the first pass...before i was stuck in the mid 60's

think you can cut me 4 new brackets with like 6 adjustment holes in them? maybe 7 and if they are too close to the ground i can trim them or cut them off...

weird thing is my cars only lowered about 1-1.25 inch

daniel, post a picture of your lca angle vs the ground before and after or either if possible I am worried about this too.

sounds to me like you aren't getting your power to it. my car and everybody else's uses the same geometry and you are the first person to have this problem.
lca brackets with more holes will cause clearance issues with the narrowed rearends.
best solution for you at this time is to put the car closer to stock ride height which will raise your center of gravity and help the weight transfer. if you are expecting to lower your car and drag race, then you simply don't have enough power being put to it with the combination you are running.

mosta my problem was hooking small tires...with your brackets now in the lowest hole they were at +2 degrees angeled up toward the car....without me in it...

as soon as i put teh stock springs in i went from a 1.67 to a 1.51 carry the wheels about 15 feet...then i went back after the only guy out there with slicks ran and i lowered the nitrous activation and went 1.42 60' carrying the wheels for about 35 feet...ran oouta time to run after that

everyone on here has had wheel hop before and most fix it with relocation brackets...well i just did to by raising the car is brought the lca angle back into the car to help push down on the tire and drive it into the track...

my rear inst narrowed i was just asking to cut me some......i know narrowed guys would have a problem...and guys with small diameter tires will make them close to the track

My car won't work with 3 hole relocation brackets. I'll be stuck fabbing my own. Lowered with a 29 or 30" tire that tucks a good amount you have to have more holes or you'll never get the geometry right.

Like Eric said you can run into clearance issues with a lower sitting bracket, you'll start hitting the rim/tire if it is too low. When all else fails relocated the lca's like I did problem solved
