Issues even with being booster less? I would guess not. Wanting to keep my booster in tact for now,but going to try and cut every pound possible since I'm not going for class,but a personal fun build that gets better and better.

No issues, just have to press them real nice and hard or throw the chute.

I’m waiting on tow hooks to be made so I can finish the new ballast, once that’s done I can get the car fully back together and it will be ready for the dyno.

I need that machine in my life!! You happen to see that Speedfactory has some new rear trailing arms with staging brakes now? Price looks reasonable.

Yeah they are the Kaizenspeed rear trailing arm kit, Kaizenspeed stopped producing them and Speedfactory I’m guessing bought the jig off him to continue making them.

I have the Kaizenspeed setup on my car.

I wouldn't imagine they're really functional for DD?

****... I was SERIOUSLY hoping you'd say, "Nah, you really don't wanna use these for daily man, they're more track only." But, NNNNNOOOOO...
I'm thinking this would kill 2 birds with 1 stone; major upgrade for the rear and drum to disc conversion all at the same time if I got the hub/wheelbearing assembly option..

This one is actually 60 pounds, my other is 90 but my intercooler, battery and turbo is like another 110 pounds. So I got some good weight up front. I’m trying to get my car to about 2090 pounds.
