Default Gforce Mini tubs

We get lots of emails and phone calls asking for wheel tubs. We keep them in stock all the time but never had them on our web site until now.

We patterned these mini tubs after the set we did on our shop car.

There are allot of shops that we sell these to as well as individuals that wanted to tackle the mini tub job.

In the past we shipped them unassembled and the customer had to put them together.
We now ship them assembled so you dont have to mess with it.

Price is $149. plus shipping.

Here is the link to the mini tubs on our web site
http://www.shop.gforce1320.com/produ...&categoryId=17

You will need more then just mini tubs to get big meats under your car, you will need to modify the control arms (or have us do it) and we suggest (but some dont) that you run our coilover kit.

And here are a few photos.

Thanks
Chris

Very nice kit, I am debating on doing one to mine. Looking forward to saving up for some.
Few questions:

The back seat can fit back perfectly with these mini tubs welded in after?
149.00 for the pair or per side?

You have to trim the side panels to fit around the mini tubs but other then that the rear seats fit back in perfectly.

And they are $149. For the pair.

Thanks

I could take some detailed photos of our shop car, that would show you about where to cut.

A 325 drag radial fits with ease and some have gone as big as a 355 (very tight), keep in mind though you also need to address the shocks and control arms to get the big tires to fit.

Very nice, and thanks for the quick response. The shock and control arm issue would be solved, if you bought your coilover kit? Or is something else needed?

Thanks again.

Yes, the coilovers would solve the shock space requirement and you would need to notch your control arms or go with our modified control arms

Cool, thank you. One more thing, sorry if it was mentioned, the $149.00 for the mini tubs, is that both sides, or is that each?
