ok one the guys at the dunes with us is giving his rail a face lift but he wanted my old design front end kit.  one his buddies bought one years back and he likes it better than the new design which trans man and deano currently run as well as many others.  I will post more pics as he ( sam ) sends them to me but here are a couple of his kit for now.

Got a side by side of new and old?

loyalty to the American people."

Sam should have went with the new style kit. IMO, more wheel travel capable and better wheel geometry. I love mine, its taken a beating and held up beautifully! 8) 8) 8)

I have 4 more calls on the front end kits. just for the record I have told all that have inquired about the old style that it does have some bump about 1/2" toe change ( through a 18 - 20" stroke ) and it only has a 1/2* camber change, 8* caster and that you will most likely need to spread or squeeze your frame around to make it fit for the wheel base desired if possible! it does take about  10 - 12 hrs to install. I am not a fan of the old kit that is why I changed the design because of the rake on the out side frame rail it is limiting to what can be done right!!

I have told all now that new kit where it does take more time to install (about 30 - 40 hrs if you want it square with the rear ) is the most universaly fitting. this kit also has 1/16" bump ( toe in ) through a 26" stroke with a 3* camber change as well as 10* caster. this is the better kit for performance.

I was recently told that I am to concerned with perfection when no one really cares that is why I will sell more of the old style than the new!  I was a little shocked but can see it but I never expected to be flat out told that!  I know most of the venders out there anymore care more for quantity rather than quality and the consumer for the most part except this as well just the way it is but that's not right!

People don't know what they want. We sell some "distressed finish" stands at work. So they look all scratched up. Customers bring them back because there is a scratch that is not in pattern with the others. So it looked to old and had  real patina! drowning drowning drowning

?? You talking Plasma or LCD or what?

When my 53 inch projection TV went bad (under warrenty thank goodness) they layed it down on its face on a flat surface on a blanket and told me thats how they hauled those kind. It returned to me in the same manner.
Your mission isn't to dive feet first into hell, but to make sure its crowded when you get there.
