Hello From Crawford Performance

Post by **bradatcrawford** » Fri Feb 26, 2010 7:23 am

Hey guys-

Brad here, Sales Manager at Crawford Performance. I just joined the forum because I happen to have a brand new set of Tein Super Racing Coilovers for the R34 Skyline (zerothread?id=480375). I wanted to at least introduce myself so my classifieds post wasn't post #1!

We're most well known for building Ken Block's two Gymkhana cars. We have the fastest new-age track STI in the world. We also worked with Stephan Verdier and his drift STI last year in Formula D. Here are some pics for clicks:

Hit me up if you guys have any questions!

Is Crawford interested in delving into Nissan performance and motorsports?

Nope! We just have a real close customer with multiple cars who we purchased the coilovers for.

If you have the stock trans then how did you convert it? Did you weld the center diff or take out the drive shaft? I need to know!

Stephan actually did the modification. He welded the center diff.
