Mark,
Are the wheels powder coated? If so, would you happen to know what color that is called? By the way, LOVE everything about the car and shop!
Thanks

I'm sure your more then busy with work,car,house,shop etc etc etc but, can you tell me is the "kit" going to be made to use on a 12 bolt? Or would it have to be modified?. Do you have any idea as to when DSE will be selling them? And finally cost. Reasons are I'm about to cut my factory rear end and was planning on using the gmr hybrid floater set up but I do like your set up more any help is greatly appreciated so in advance,
Thanks Ryan Austin

should work on your 12 bolt as well as long as you change over to the correct ford ends Mark used.

Well it's. It not really a Ford part it's more of a Ford shape if it makes you feel better. It works for me.

Edit, it's not a ford based. The backing base is welded directly to the axle tube.

I am willing to bet it will be available as an option if when you buy a housing, similar to what SpeedTech offers.

Well I'm sure I'm not the only one on the side lines waiting on release date. " please put me on the list ASAP"
Mark will custom bearing be an option on the kit incase I wanted to run Delphi ABS?
Or maybe better question should be which unit is more readily available Delphi or bosh.
Congrats on a very well made product.

One set lasted the 24 endurance run on the Z/28 and were still tight and we are still running them. The 24 hour test is a accumulated 24 hour run where we just swap brake pads and tires and run the car flat out on track for tank fills of fuel.

On Red Devil, Mayhem and Chris Smiths truck they all still have almost no backlash. They also require zero maintenance.

Over all it is one of the best parts I have ever designed.

Glad to hear that! -- Very cool part for sure.

Is this bearing currently available over the counter or is this a special piece you are having made?

I'll let Mark confirm, but I believe he stated that if you aren't going to run the ABS setup like he has, you can simply use the ZR1 part directly from GM.

Brandon I think you are correct. What Mark mentioned is that he special ordered a passive sensor hub to integrate into the GM ABS system he's using. The standard ZR1 hub, which is the big daddy of SKF's line up for GM, can be had at the dealer. It's an awesome peice.

Not to jump subject but could we get some pictures of the cage - it looks incredibly well tucked.

Did you use DOM? And the kick downs in the trunk are they re-enforced in anyway - I see one going to the DSE crossmember but the other is attached to what I think is welded sheet metal.

Also I think you need to convince DSE to add the cooling ducts as a subframe option.
