Re: tubular rear trailing arms
The Myers rear trailing arms are completely legal as they bolt to every OEM mounting point and have all the adjustability of a factory set up.
It works with the OEM hub so you can use factory drum or disc brakes.
I have had the Myers set up for over a year on my car and love it.
You can email Jack directly at Myerscompetition@gmail.com if you would like more specifics. Also, like the Myers Competition Manifolds Facebook page for more info and pics. There is a picture album dedicated to the rear set up.

Interested in a set too. Those rear bushings are are shot. And in Pittsburgh all the bolts are rusted to everything that hold that stuff together!

About 35lbs and tucks the wheel in a little for aero purposes- and it allows you to use the shocks that can be adjusted better for our drag race application

Re: tubular rear trailing arms
Anyone have a price yet? I considered building some tubular RTA's for road racing considered this is the 2nd set of RTA's I've bent from an off. Bastard things fold like tin the second you go airborne sideways.

Re: tubular rear trailing arms
Keep shaking your head 1500 is pretty expensive for some chromeoly tubing and some heim joints that anybody with decent tigging skills can fab up I. Sorry if you being a shop think it's a good price. To every other person out there that's expensive for that setup which doesn't include shocks so now were talking over 2 grand. We all know how the game works supply and demand. When more companies start making this the price will get cut in half

Jack is an experienced chassis builder who spent many hours making sure the jig was straight and everything bolted up flawlessly. That's not easy to do, regardless of how well you can weld.
Stuff like this is not for everyone, we all understand that. Neither are $3500 turbos , $3500 billet cranks or $7000 transmissions. But that doesn't stop others from purchasing them.
To each their own.

Re: tubular rear trailing arms
I wouldn't want to risk my life and my race car hoping that it was built straight and strong enough from a shop that "has decent tig skills."

Re: tubular rear trailing arms
I just got my Myers setup with 1 extra inch of wheel base. the craftsmanship is amazing! Kit fit very well and easy to align. It gives it a "race" car look for sure
