$175 a set.
What do you get? 4 delrin offset bushings, steel sleeves, machine screws, instructions, and about .5 more camber than you have right now. And all ESP legal if you happen to care about rules. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Not cheap, because they weren't easy to get made and that costs money (especially in limited quantities). I've got 16 sets total. Some are already sold or "reserved" by customers I know will be buying them. I figure I have 10 sets up for grabs right now, and if there is a need, I'll make more. |

That's a lot more camber gain than you've claimed or admitted in the past (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif) What's involved in the installation - just pressing the old bushings out and drilling a few screw holes? |

It seems to be inline with what I had for expectations. If I didn't already have global west arms, I'd order a set to "have". Just in case. |

I think Rob was only able to get about -1.3 at a similair height. Since I never installed my GW arms, I may order a set of bushings too (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This post has been edited by sgarnett: Jul 16 2006, 04:14 AM |

I'm in a class all week, so otherwise I'll just call next week. Thanks, Sean This post has been edited by sgarnett: Jul 20 2006, 05:11 PM |

I don't have a credit card number on file right now (got deleted or was expired probably). |
