glad to see you're still sticking with it. for awhile you were gettin me all depressed on you debating selling your car. it almost felt like a soap opera..
still looks good and can't wait to see the finished product.

Nuformz sells a bolt in spindle mount kit like that. Comes with strange struts and brakes, and I believe wheels and tires if you want to step up to that.. But I know they come ready to bolt in car. We had one on the Venom car back in the day, Bergenholtz had one of the CRX, and many others...

Nuformz rear suspension is direct bolt on - we have it on two of our cars a CRX and 95 HB - we sell the kit and install it at our shop and i can say it is VERY EASY to install, and we all know anything that say NUFORMZ is the best.

this thing is a soap opera like stated above. every week i tune in to see how much farther the hatch has come. i've been watching this for too long.


"wishes one day he can have a sundance hatch too"

we are using both mild and chromoly for the axle....they didnt have the chromoly with the wall thickness that i had wanted to use, in stock, so i got a mild steel piece, and we are sliding a sleeve inside the mild, than the spindle snub is gettting machined down to pit inside the sleeve, with very close tolerances.

currently im working on the jig im going to build off of. i never knew how much time it took building something that had to be sooooo precise. im sure all the hours will be worth it in the end.

total $$ spent on rear axle project so far.

tubing/tabs/plates---- $ 180.00
wheels,tires, brakes, spindle snubs- $1560.00

total $1740.00

just need to get the spindles machined down(probably 40 bucks)

rear shocks/springs. for a decent set..looking at around $650.00~~


i got a decent suspension for a decent price. so far im very happy with the way things are turning out.
