Re: New straight axle kit from kens kuston chassis (Arturbo)
You'd be supprised art. My friend jason who deals alot with trucks and also has an allmotor crx did some research on straight axle and you can get custom length axles from trailer shops, same used on trailers go figure. But I on the other hand am a consumer just tell me what to buy hehe.-pdang

Re: New straight axle kit from kens kuston chassis (1fstcorrado)
Well thought out.... however 100lbs saved.......hm..
From what i remembered each of the rear stock suspension on a integra without shocks weights around 58 to 60 pounds with the two rear independent rear suspension gone this unit has to weight no more then 20 lbs.....Ive seen the MB straight axle installed with the rear lower K cut and total weight saved was around 68 lbs. I wonder if it made of Aluminum

you sure bout the 100 lbs ? cause it has the extra cross bar more than the MB kit and the MB kit saves maybe 80 lbs ... that kit looks nice.

I actually talked to them today, and without me even asking he offered up that it saves about 80lbs
did anyone check out the cage job on the EG that was on the site?
they are about 2 hrs from me, and I am considering getting the same job on mine, does 2500. plus 550 for the wheelie bar seem like a good price? I havent shopped around much yet...

Re: New straight axle kit from kens kuston chassis (civic disobedience)
Kens is on the more expensive side of cage making, I got a decent deal from him b/c mine was the first eg he did
