I recieved a cradle from the 4th group buy. After having it on the car for a while, I am completly happy with it. It did contact my exhaust and I had to have that moved but was just a minor fix.
I can now launch the car without worry about wheel hop or any of the hard "clunk" that i would always have in between shifts. I also replaced the diff bushings when I was under there. I still get a minor clunk between 3rd and 4th shift. But it is minimal compared to what it was.
Highly recommend this cradle to anyone and everyone.

Will open GroupBuy #5 next week and place shop order to cut out parts. When parts are cut/cleaned/bent, the final steps are welding and powder coating.
For reference.....our last 2in1 GroupBuy took 8 weeks start to finish and I suspect set a GB record. If you look on the GROUP BUY thread I think you will find that many take a year or more AFTER YOU SEND YOUR MONEY.
That said, if all goes as planned shipping will be end of July.
