I too assume you mean the sidewinder.

There are very cool, but there look to be some sproblems with fitting them in anything other than a very "big" car (i.e someting with plenty of lift/width

Greg and I have done lots of measuring based on figures supplied by spidertrax and we are not confident that one could be made to clear with NT spring spacing and anything like a SPUA height.

WT spring spacing might be possible, but here is the catch-

At sensible width - lets say 3" over stock- the spacing between the knuckle, Ubolts, bumpstop and diff will get critical on the drivers side.

IMHO the open knuckle design will create much more scrub radius for the same overall width based on our observations.

The yokes running Sierra unis are very cool though, although replacement if you break one would be a PITA.

Depending on what you wanted to do, they could be cool, but after lots of thinking and measuring, we decided against it for "Greg's housekeepers cousins car"

Just some thoughts.

Ps I would love to see someone pony up and get a set :cool:
