Thats the only way the car can reach its top end. There was one or 2 companies that did but it was barely an overdrive, something in the .9ish range. Thanks for the input though, I will check them all out again before I buy.
You know damn well I have a stock M12 Z06 tranny that we can slap in there...should hold for a good second or so :)

Interesting rear end - should be hell for stout. I see THREE links - but I don't see anything that would act like a panhard bar... am I missing something??

If you look closely you can see its a 4 link with another 5th link at the top, center of the housing that keeps it all centered, but all joints will articulate. After it gets some initial testing I'm sure I will be adjusting/changing something.

Okay - will look at the pics again -- I was trying to find the "upper" bars but couldn't see them... but I'm old and don't see well.

Now I see 'em - the upper bars - not sure how I missed 'em the first time around... maybe I was too busy trying to find what was handling the side loads... :thumbsup:

Don't know if you guys noticed, but I love the full adjustability of the front suspension so you can get the geometry "just right". Love the adjustable tie rod and idler arm height. No bump steer issues here.:unibrow:

Every piece is adjustable and the coil springs have hidden adjusters up inside the spring pockets to adjust ride height as well. A couple little tweaks and everything should work pretty good. :)

A small update. I managed to get some steering in it this weekend.

The removeable steering wheel really helps getting in and out and I can remove it to make it less appealing to steal when I go to get my groceries. :lol:

Awesome car. Glad you are back on it again.:thumbsup:
