when we tried them on ryan's car it seemed to have some issues with how much we extended them.. however the last two times out with a different length and kingpin angle it's been feeling good.. this setup that I'm working on isn't for sale yet and won't be until I feel it's a competitive setup therefore I'm trying to make sure any bugs are worked out (if i find any) before I would offer these to the public. O, and I thought you'd never go v8.. just sayin.. haha

no mention but they are slightly extended. however I'm retaining the stock ball joint piece for ease of replacement if necessary... unlike some other kits out there.

Im looking to extend my flca's also. Did you do any kind of reinforcement? Doesn't seem like you can go with the box method with these and they seem somewhat weak if you modify them.

I am actually very excited to see your thoughts and reviews on the PSM rear end setup. I was planning on picking up everything for the rear and your front end kit.

let us know how you like it/hate it !!!

it's definitely legit.. however the PSM kit is considerably less for the same components.. the current rear end has the entire awr setup along with lightened trailing arms etc.. however I'm going to be working with PSM testing their dtts kit along with other trailing arm bearings...

I'll definitely do a review after I get everything installed etc.. I'm not sure if I'll get it all done before I head out to florida tonight, but I'll make sure to update as it gets done..

I plan on lightening the trailing arms like the previous setup as well therefore it's going to be taking a little more time than a typical install... I'm going to be keeping the old setup complete as a full spare setup.. or for a future project maybe..

yeah it was weird hearing a different engine in the car but it drove really nice... that setup only had around 230whp or so... so i'm looking forward to feeling it out with 460whp..
