Mark,

Did you talk to Reid (lavanut) about a system?

Posted by: McMark May 7 2008, 05:05 PM

I PMd Reid a long time ago and called him Lavanut. He very politely commented that his screen name is LavaNAUT!

Great minds....

Reid:

Test rears are ready to be installed in my car. I was going to clean up the trailing arms, but I'd rather get them in the car and tested than spend time cleaning them up.

Lavanut. That always cracks me up.

Thanks Mark, keep us posted on how the testing goes! Would we be talking weeks or months before those might be ready? I'm currently amassing parts (at PMB Performance ) for my rear five-lug conversion. I'm not in a huge hurry and would probably be willing to wait if it's "weeks" ~ I think Eric needs time to prep the control arms anyway.

Over & out,

'Nut

I'm going to try to get them installed on Sat.

Andy, can you get up here to clean and paint my arms before Sat?

(Mark... we need to change his screen name to lavanut)

When can we order the rears???


If I can be the first person in the list for rears, I can send you a bunch of hub cores..... :briberysmiley:

You could send me the hub cores and I would give you my place in line. :toolatesmiley:

Installed the rears today. It was really easy. Took me a few hours. I even cleaned and painted the trailing arms to make Andy happy.

The test drive proved the value of this system once again. It was definitely noticeable. The front end (still rubber) HITS bumps, while the rear GLIDES over them. And I have Koni's up front and KYBs in the rear.

There are still a few aspects to check out before they become available, but things are looking good so far.
