well my links will not be much more than the tubes but there 4130 and little over
1/8 wall the trick is the joints and all the stainless spacers and the stock car links would work good im banking on that the one time there not enough, stock cars are on a track there light and strong enough they throw out links like pop cans i just want a permanent solution, plus you ever want my links they should fit on what ever you make and your out 12 bucks a link or you have two spares to keep in the car you win no matter what.

OK OK its done and ready to test one issue already is that there's a brace in the
spare tire well im going to cut it out and adjust the next one and it should be spot on i don't like the idea of rotating the mane cross peaces. So i will ponder on that before i do the next but it wouldn't take long to make more of them. Other than that it looks ok and hope it fits i did not put the misalignment slots i figure if your going to go this far your using fully adjustable links. Not to mention its half lbs lighter than stock!!! On my link set up its in the middle works and will put the other kits to shame price and strength, i have the rod ends coming tomorrow and im going to meet up with the place that's going to cut them next week and see how soon we can get a set i have enough material for 12 full sets puss enough to work on front a arms for VW.

well, careful there...I have upgraded links, but they're the pretty pink STI ones and they're not adjustable. I've been looking into getting the 'zero toe bolt lock', but its like $90 for two freakin' bolts. So right now, this will or won't work with my stock alignment bolts? but, DAMNED, that's pretty  Jon Burke - KI6LSW Blog: http://psgrallywrx.blogspot.com/ |

The idea is that you would have adjustable links and when you set your car up you
don't need to again but with the cam bolts, talking to local car builders they have to re set them every few stages, i can sell you just 2 links and set of bolts to work with this frame to save some bucks. my goal is to get people out there and running with out breaking there car or there wallet TSSFAB.US No HYPE just parts!!!!

well that is next i think i have come to an idea of what i want to do product wise i
want to offer a heavy duty DOM and a light Dom and a super light 4130. For price i will have to crunch time and numbers and see whats going on I think it will be around 1000 for ether dom and 1400 for 4130 but i will drastically cut it if you buy links along with it. i will come out with some hard numbers for links and frame soon.
