these look like excellent peices, but being a broke college student, with access to multiple fabrication tools, i'll be making my own! Great looking product and excellent idea.

Thats the way to do it, and while you are at it, you should fabricate something new and innovative too.

Being "broke" drives innovation, so rely on these years of your life to come up with your greatest and most creative ideas!

GL!

I like the black too, but I want to do different editions in different colors, some people might have a higher interest is some over others.

That is another thing we won't know until we test them.

Honestly, ME selling these to you guys is test marketing. Later next year, these parts will go through standard distribution chains, and sold by much larger retailers at increased prices.

Anyone else, just email me a request if you feel like you are not on our mailing list.

Mike, your address did not get auto-added b/c your purchase took place when our email system freaked out, so there is no "automatic record" of your order.

I added the record manually for you a while back when I realized the issue, but some features like auto add to specific mailing lists might not have worked (such as this).

Maybe next run, if enough people ask.

If you really want your set anodized a special color, just add $250 to your order, that is the minimum order cost for anodizing.

If you want to buy a whole lot of them in a special color (50 sets min) just ask. There are a few service shops around the country installing these, and making good money doing it. Their sales data will also help the part go into distribution.

Interesting little suspension bit ya got there, Very innovative idea.

Although if you want some quick "proof" to people who might doubt if they help anything just throw a G meter in the car at "approx" Cog and log a steady state circle, its not absolute or anything you can design off of, but if you get a doubting thomas, shove a graph in his face.

heck you can do it with a wiimote, some tape and a laptop really, and 5 minutes in Excel,

Really though I like the idea, heck Ill be honest I kind of forgot those were back there, I think they actually broke off on my car.

These were originally developed by our drag racing program in 2003. To slow down wheel hop.
