Default Parachute Choices and Mount ?'s

In the market for a chute for my SFWD car, heard about STROUD being one of the better ones. Can't find where to buy them. Also looking into different mounting options like this.

just find a good fabricator to do all your work or if you want material to do your own (which most people do) call all of the referals i sent you above, and look around your local area for steel dist.

I was refering to wheelie bars. I already have traction bars. I know wheelie bars are out of the regulations. I just wanna run the car with two setups.

well it doesnt help much but i dont have to pull the lever anymore i have it all air assisted, so it will be done via button on the steering wheel, and yes it is a jerry bickel release kit which is a waste now, but i think the change was worth it
