Tubular K-frames now available

[Shadow]

Santa I swear to god. If your fat red --- doesn't get me one of these for christmas I am marching up to the north pole, tying cement blocks to your feet, putting your --- in a bag, and throwing you in the river......... And after all that, I may just plow your wife.

So, swaybar or no swaybar?

[Shadow]

Ditto on tubular A arms. Just might buy one.

I think you would need two.

What's with the crickets guys, this topic was cookin a week ago! FeedBack needed on importance of swaybar mod!

zin, 87CSX603, junior92, badandy, Reaper1, you guys all showed more than a light interest in this and only 1 of you has spoke up!

Is the swaybar a deal breaker? Cause I'm willing to work with Brian and DJ (tubular a-arms) to get this all worked out and leave my crossmember in Brians hands till a swaybar mod is completly worked out, but I wanna know that it's for good reason! (swaybar Isn't the end of the world for me, but I wouldn't mind having one)

So, what do you guys say, would you buy one without swaybar provision, or is the swaybar a must?

I would be interested in one for my daytona in about 6 months. If things work out I would need two. One would not need the sway bar. One issue I will have is sourcing a set of A-arms for this.

I believe Brian can make them for stock dual pivot LCA's or DJ's tubular ones.

I would have to have a swaybar if I buy one. I would like lca aswall as I would need new lca as I have a 87 csx

I would love one, but it would be a 2-4 months away. I would rather have mine with no covering(powder coating) and stock style geometry. I have a glhs so I'm not sure how stock dual pivot translates to stock in this case. Either way, I show interest.

I would need a set or two of stock dual pivot. Nothing in the yards around here.

Cake, I've got at least a doz. and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Ok, finally made enough progess to put up a couple of pics. The first pic is the revised L-body geometry, as it sits on the jig. Second is stock geometry, on the jig as well. I'll put some pics of the K-frame that will use stock LCA's tomorrow.

[BadAssPerformance]

Cool... Side by side top down pics would help understand it too

BTW, nice protractor

You sure have the gears in my head turning thinking about the project I have going here...




I am assuming that is Anti lift you adding to the suspension design?

Correct, I am altering the anti-lift geometry but, I am decreasing it to give us pro-lift. Anyone wanting to read on the subject... http://www.orldsm.com/showthread.php...t-and-Pro-Lift and also here... http://www.whiteline.com.au/articles...WL%20ALK_b.pdf

I was good with all that mumbo jumbo until I got to the part on the image where the functions and trig started flowing out. Regardless, your work has proven itself on the track and your craftsmanship is equally visibly impressive. Can't wait to get one of these things for the blue Charger. I have been scraping together all my change in my house, I'm up to $121!! Only about $700'ish to go! hehe

This was my assumption in the beginning as well, was kind of confused with how pro lift would help with traction. After reading up on it a little, it's actually a whole different beast than anything I was thinking.

I thought this crossmember would be a "drag only" type of piece that I would "make due with" on the street and auto-x. (because I was thinking ant-lift)

After reading up on it, this design Will improve All aspects of the suspension! Better high speed cornering, better traction, better braking! There is no downside! (that I can see, anyway)

[Reaper1]

Oh, I'm interested, don't get me wrong! I just need to win the Power Ball so I can afford it! I'm in my last semester of school and am WAY broke! I'm just trying to make ends meet!

If/when the time coes for me to do something on this scale, it will HAVE to have a sway bar. However, I consider myself fairly resourceful and I think that regardless of whether this product comes with provisions for a bar or not, I can figure a way to make one work!

I've given Brian a couple of my ideas on that matter, one divorces the sway bar from the K-frame all together.

I think that this would be the way to go, though I haven't meditated on it, it seems like Chryco did it they way the did for cost/ease of assembly rather than best performance/geometry.

They said it eliminated some fault of the endlink type but I forgot what.
