| Bajatex, I'm looking to build arms for my car and was wondering what size tubes you are running for your arms? |

I've always wondered when you put the heim joints on the spindles like that, doesn't that severely limit your turning radius? I know if you rotated then 90*, it would limit your travel. Just curious.

With the misalignment spacers and running smaller bolts for the given rod end size, you can achieve up to 35 degrees in each direction. So the upper arm uses a 3/4 rod end and a 1/2 bolt. |

| What is the shock length you are using? I would definitely be interestedim the CAD file for the plate work, and design the as myself. Is that something you would consider? I have Plasma Cam table |

That is a great design!!! Shock position mostly influences the overall rate (firmness or softness) of the shock, the angle mostly influences the progressiveness of the shock–how the shock changes as it’s compressed. The more the top of a shock is leaned in, the stiffer the shock will feel as it’s compressed. A shock that is positioned fairly vertical, will be linear (i.e. feel the same as it’s compressed).
Any idea what a kit of this caliber would run? |

| How did this conversion work out? Any updates on a kit? Sorry I know this is an old thread... |
