Ditto!

That hat would make a nice start on a smaller mid board setup using 100MM cv's!

Assbug, get a hold of Doug! I'm sure he would be super happy to help you out! 100mm CV's are out of a BMW right?

I haven't. Seems hard to find a lot of info on their stuff. I hear it's top shelf tho. What can you tell us?

I have a pic that was in an article that I found. I cant seem to post it tho because it is in a format not supported by the site.  I'm looking for a different one.  I have to think someone has to have an axle that will plunge more than 3or4 inches...

I finally figured out the rear end of my car. I cut apart the old trailing arm to get my hub plate. I made my trailing arm jig 10" longer. I'm getting pretty good at making trailing arms now. eyes

the new arms look great and will solve some problems. I still think I will try to find a plunging axle, a plunging axle with 3-4inches of plunge, to get a bit more down travel. if I run a Ford outer CV on the inside with a plunging axle I should be able to get another 5-6 inches of down travel.

the bottom of my wheels are only 12"below my lowest point in the chassis at full droop.

I would be much happier with a good 18" below. this would allow more adjustment in ride height.

The longer arms have many pluses. Looking good.
