At this point we're about roughly 3 months out. Things are moving along really well but it's hard to foresee complications that may arise in testing. The end result will be well worth the wait...

For the first gen sub... What are you doing for the front inner fenders? I assume the stock inner fenders will be too small.

Mopar- We've discussed having a universal front clip that can be grafted into most anything. Not sure how that will work with K members but it might be doable. Tyler did this with our current "Pro Touring Hot Rod Clip" which is the same suspension as our current Pro Touring 1st gen Camaro subframe. A couple links...

Jr- The best answer I have at this point is it depends on wheel and tire size and offset. For max tire size at the ride height we like, there's a chance you'll have to mod them a little. We will know better what we're up against there when we have the final prototype in the test car and can see how it does in hard cornering and things like turning into steep driveways. We've got a 315-30-18 Falken on an 11" wheel that we're building around so we can pass on accurate info when we get to that point.

They will be if you want to run a 315. that i CAN GAURENTEE! they will probably fit a 275. but it will all depend on what suspension strategy you are wanting to use, high travel low roll or low travel high roll,
