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

and with that statement right there, you can pat yourself on the back!!!


not many can use that statement,

I was looking at the brake set up last night, very nice, well thought out,

as well as the rest of the car and shop,

Thanks. I was just curious if the bearing saw a different load at zero camber as opposed to negative camber on a the applications you listed.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

Coming from you, that's saying something!
