Is this a sealed bearing unit? What does this upright/bearing unit weigh?

Thanks, Jay

Bangshift had some kind words to say yesterday. They included the word 'drool' so I think they really like it.

Yes, it's a sealed bearing. I don't have access to weights at the moment.

Very cool, and I think it is impressive that you can offer such quality pieces at a reasonable price, I know it is not easy....

Carl, I cannot recall will these bolt up in place of the sculpted spindle or do other components have to be changed out as well? I already have the 6P Wilwoods.

We are considering a version of this upright that will fit Corvettes. No ETA is available for the Corvette version.
OK, I'm paying attention now...

It is designed to work with the wider track a-arms so you would need to change those too. Brakes are different too for a variety of reasons. The parts you would remove are compatible with the current Street Machine suspension series, so they could be easily cycled onto another project.

Here's a behind-the-scenes picture of our new gStreet billet aluminum upright. In this pic you can see three phases of machining process: raw billet, first operation, and final operation.
