Default M&B or KensKustom

What would you choose. i have a 89 civic hatch...full drag car in the works...what would be a good choice- the kens kustom solid rear axel or the M&B narrowed rear end suspension?

kens kustom: http://www.kenskustomchassis.com/Straight_Axle.htm

M&B: http://mmrusa.com/rearaxle.htm

Open to suggestions

I would run the kens unit for the same price as the mb you can get the spindle mount unit. which is really nice . this kit has alot more engineering and thought put behind it.-pdang

We have the Ken's and it is fully adjustable. Much more engineering involved

i like the DTR fab's spindle mount set up...i know i would have to upgrade my master cylinder and add steel braided brake lines....but it looks dayum good. i dont want to do any cutting just bolt it up...2900 not that bad, wheels, shocks, and suspension.

Why go with a straight axle that makes your car look like a minivan from behind and it dont perform like irs. We built a rear suspension that is lighter than any straight axel out there. Its also narrowed, infinantly adjustable and cheaper. Plus you dont need to move to a splindle mount wheel. Give us a call for more info 610-488-9132
