Dale, tell your boy he needs to put a price on the wheel spacers...I might be interested for an FC project of mine. Other than being hub-centric (versus cheaper ones that may not be), I can't see a big difference in flat wheel spacers, though.
I also find myself having a hard time visualizing how the FC rear camber bar works...I'm no suspension guy, but I've taken apart many an FC rear subframe and I dont see how that bar relates to rear wheel camber. Care to explain? I might be interested in that, too...I'm gonna be running a lowered FC soon.

Talked with Jimmy (owner of Fighters) about the dust seals on the suspension components - he's now updated the parts, and they now feature dust seals 
. He always tries to improve parts he's made as time goes on.
Kevin, I'll mention the wheel spacer thing. They're quite nice - solid and fit snugly. The video that's up demonstrating them has me doing the voice-over and demo , BTW.

Might be - I'll ask.
On pricing, I believe it's the same or darn near the same - whatever's on the webpage.

Good stuff. Couple other ideas if your friend is looking to expand his product line... I'm sure many of us would be interested in a replacement or drop-in for the oil filler neck that prevents oil creeping up and getting blown through the intake/IC tract during track days. Also I'd personally be very interested in a nice I/C duct for use with the ebay I/Cs that work with the slim battery kit he's selling (intercooler moved towards battery using greddy elbow). I guess there's probably not much demand for that, huh?

Saw the updated FD rod ends with the new seals today - quite nice! Should do really well.
We've also been discussing some other neat FD product ideas - he's working on feasibility and pricing now. One potential one is an insert for the stock oil neck to prevent oil creep on track days. Keep watchin'!

Very nice, they all look fairly similar to the Pettit counterparts but, IMO with a little more thought put into them and not so much 'slapped together'. If I were to do it all over again, I'd definitely be all over these bits, especially with the Dale Clark seal of approval.

Possibly - I know he's just doing polished aluminum right now, which a lot of people dig.

You'll need to e-mail the owner as far as shipping and those kinds of concerns - jimmy@fighters-garage.com - I'm pretty sure he ships overseas, though.
It has provisions for the air pump to hook up and the air pump return, but no provision for the blow-off valves. Most just leave them open-air vented.
