It is Strange shocks and brakes with nuformz control arms and staging brake. Actually, CNC staging brake but it's included in the kit. Hey earl, you're gonna need rear brakes! j/k Looks good!

You guys can thank me 50 dollar camera for taking the shots...He Tyler, let Nick know I posted these pics here. He was asking me about them. It is the total package, brakes, springs, struts...all you see plus the staging brake except the wheels. Nuformz does not have a website and they do not sell direct to the market anyways. I think we can get them for all apps. Price is $4000 shipped. I think its waaay better then a solid rear axle because it has more adjustment. Also, you know how NHRA is...one minute the a solid axle is legal, the next its not. This kit is all bolt in. This is not our car, its a secret spec all motor integra. If anyone is a serious buyer, contact me direct and I will give you my phone number.

Cough! $4K for that? It's a decent setup and I'm sure it saves weight but come on. Look in racing trade magazines and you will see there are plenty of places you can get rods with adjustable ends on them. This setup shouldn't cost $2K including the shocks and motorcycle brakes. This would be cake for any half experienced fabrictor. I know I don't have to buy them but that cost is in fantasy land.

Ohh and please don't say anything like "speed costs money"... I am well aware of this but racers are resourceful people and even sponsors money gets watched over pretty closely.

I agree, something like this can be made by a well trained fabricater. Like Tyler said though, most those other kits dont use spindle mounts, not that it makes it worth a ton of money. The $4000 price is even about 500-600 bucks cheaper then store front. Heres the deal though. It is flawless made of all the finest parts. Shawn has money just in parts in the kit, not just tubing and ends. Its also a "kit" which means it can be installed pretty fast and will be done the right time. People also know that if someone was going to fab it them selfs, it would take time to get it right. Not everyone has the skill to fab this and if you an average guy off the street and told a fab guy to make this kit with the same parts, I would bet the price would be even more. Your right though, if your a bad *** fab guy, make some stuff your self and save a few bucks. Thats part of the fun I think anyways.
