The Bogart rears "skinnies" that I have stick out, ALOT. They stick out to the point of rubbing on launches.

Besides the obvious weight advantage of a rear solid axle (like MMR), will the axle also bring the rims closer to the wheel well

here is a pic of them on my car:

 

the backspacing will also determine the positioning of the rim.

 

It will bring the wheels in and the other advantage is a big weight savings from what they say.

 

how about the nuformz?

 

It will drop even more weight and has more adjustability, better parts and runs a spindle mount style wheel. Also comes with a staging brake.

 

also comes with KY for the 4500 you pay withgout wheels

yea the mmr will bring it in and usues stock mounting points. like a 80 lb savings i think...somewhere round there.

they also sell staging brakes. they arent that expensive.

 

KY moly lube

Thats works out to $56.25 per pound.

 

I ordered my MMR usa rear solid axle about 3 months ago. I still haven't received it yet, mine is for sale sincee I am no longer making a street car. They said I should be receiving it this week. WHen you order it they tell you 2-3weeks yoiur happy then wait months and get screwed but, mine should be here this week and its for sale 92-95 civic hatchback brand new. same one on there webpages. I backed out the race car project. i have a 88-91 street car now crx.

 

i just received my mb product solid rear axle yesterday(same as mmr) only took about 2 weeks from mb motorsports. havnt installed it yet though. was somthing like 1350 for the solid rear and then 140 or so for the staging brake

 

and street cars are running this??

 

I thought that according to the rules...you cannot use a solid axle rear end!
correct me if I am wrong!

Where is a good place to get the Bogarts/skinnies?

 

in the all motor pro classes u can use a solid rear axle with no weight penelty. thats in idrc or nhra

 

but you cant in the other classes correct?

 

yeah that is correct you cannot in a street car class all motor you can. other classes you can but you have to keep the rear sub frame like in hot rod and idrc. but there is no point if u have to keep the sub frame.

 

your kidding right? what all does that include?

 

the solid rear included wilwood light duty disc brakes and calipers, pads, and it just bolts rite in to your factory location, subframe needs to be removed. only thing it didnt come with is the brake lines. i just sent it to get powdercoated, but as soon as i get it back, ill try to post installed pics.

im most curious to see what the stock brake components weigh

 

besides the weight difference what is the advatages of a solid rear end

 

i saw you run at st. thomas damn joo loud you prolly the loudest

 

Him, the loudest? Have you seen any and every car in the all motor class? Or how about when I almost got deafened by Team Altech's Turbo beast when he was launching this summer? That pops that thing make are retarded....

ya true but that one stuck in my mind well because he runs with no rear bumper so i remembered it, what car did you run ? the burgandy porsche made wack *** pops also

 

why dont u just raise it up...

 

I was asking more from a curiousity standpoint.

I'm building a drag-only car this winter and will be using those skinnies, and it was something that stuck in my mind

here is a shitty pic with the rear jacked with Skunk2 900lb springs:
