Default check out my new rear suspension

Well after several mock up peices and what feels like a thousand hours we finally have a replacement rear suspension for my car. All the tubing is cromoly and all the factory mounting points are retained. I am not sure how much weight is lost but i know its substantial, im guessing around 45 lbs. Also it uses the factory Honda hubs and also narrows the rear end by about 3.5-4 inches so that the tires tuck easily and it provides and additional lowering of about 2 inches not including any lowering springs or coilover setting you have. All the work was done at Franks Custom Fiberglass by Frank himself and he is considering making these go into production. Let me know your thoughts or comments.

I think when he was saying I sure hope not, he was talking in reference to the price mackspeed gave.

Absolutly everything is adjustable, it can be lowered, caster, camber, toe. Prices are not fixed yet but we are guessing about 1000 bucks. This is not a street set up this is drag only. Coilovers are required with this set up. Instructions are also included and you must do a complete realignment.
