Sliders! :sieg:

Embarrassingly enough I have never seen those! I've been planning on Global West or Hotchkis bushings on my GW L2 springs. Is the end performance result of the slider considering the price difference comparable.......for a pro-tinkerer on a tight budget?




When Rudy brought his Pro Street Camaro up for a little R&R ----- one of the first things I noticed was that his rear end was in a bind.... the arc of the parallel bars was different than the arc that his leaf springs would allow... and the BIRD CAGE that was supposed to allow the rear to move (float) on the leafs was bolted down tight.... NO MOVEMENT ALLOWED.... So the two arcs where fighting each other - therefore noting was moving much. UGH!

Amazing what a little movement will do for a guys suspension... LOL

Then the high maintenance would be worth the effort.


I agree with him though -- get that weight as near center as possible....


Oh yeah -- and all the re-work helps keep him off the track.

There was a little misunderstanding with the inlet placement and deck lid center but you know wrong or right the customer gets what they want and I try to keep an open mind with off the wall stuff. One call made the choice.

Either way im cutting metal and sticking it back together right?

Snip here snip there and its back in.

Perfect! Now he's got a place for his golf clubs until he upgrades to a 15 or 18 gallon cell. :D

Talked to Sutton today. ordering the Penske 7500 DA's on Monday and its a 2 week build time.
Wont be able to slap them on for T-Hill in May because I have to extend my mounting points to 17 1/4" from 15" and vince wont have the time before May.
Longer rocker arm studs ordered. Should show Monday and hopefully Joe gets in there and does his thing. :)

You'll still get your ass whipped by TheRookieSieg in a 252 hp Toyota motored plastic adult go kart.
