    WHY is no-one buying the STANCE bushings? This is one of few companies interested in supporting us at all? GET ON YOUR HORSE

    Production wraps up tomorrow, and I have mandated supplier to provide me costing tomorrow. Kits are ready to ship by the time your reading this, get your payments ready.

    Here are some progress pics of my install. I'm no pro but you get the idea.

    soooo… it's no longer a location plate from stud to stud now, using the factory diff mount studs as a point of reference?

    Looks like it is to me, he just cut the rest of the plate up to fill the gap between the stud plate and the support once it was aligned and tacked.

    ahh good eye. that's all we would really need it for.

    ideally it would be nice to have it formed to the curvature of the welding area… but not at the projected price.

    looks good. gotta get stance and sub frame links now.

    Exactly. Very difficult to form it to the complex curvature and get it welded perfectly straight.

    The bar is just a template for welding. Also, given the precision of the kit and the variance in chassis/subframe, no parts come pre-welded as initially considered.

    It's because these were purchased with the intent to sit on a shelf forever, never to be installed.
