They look like tweeds, Possibly the 4" longer ones.

The front arms and spindle are Tweeds. The ones in the pic's are 4" longer arms, 3" raised spindles and yes I do sell them.

I am running 33's on a normal type of manx body. Nice build!

Mon Feb 27, 2006 12:35 am

I'm only running 31's because I wanted to get the most clearance on full compression. I was not sure of the clearance on the new style body before mock up. On the next ones I think they will be 33's

were you going to leave this shock mount as single shear? most coilover setups i see run dual shear shock mounts for strength since the shock is holding up the weight of the vehicle
