$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? |

I would like a set. Are they "orderable" from your website or should I call?

Huh? Oh, nevermind, not worth the discussion.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) you have to re-use the old shells, so the rubber has to burned or cut out, and the new ones just press in. That can be done with a vice and not a shop press. QUOTE (KeithO @ Jul 15 2006, 09:04 AM) I would like a set. Are they "orderable" from your website or should I call? Call me, not on the site. |

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 could only get -1.3 at the same height. That was my point, he was at -1.7, so it seemed about right to me. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'll be ordering in a few weeks. To much repair work last weekend. If you sell out, I'll wait for the next run since they won't be going in until winter anyway.

I like the fact there are folks I can trust and I'd be happy to do that since we've done similar things before, and the fact you've left a favorable impression on me when we met (and when we've spoken). Korry, Yours are scheduled for delivery tomorrow (fedex track is 086562810018328). Sam |
