snake racing is prolly the most expensive place around.

id go superior engineering

www.superiorengineering.com.au

havent used any of there stuff but will be when the time comes.


to do the SOA

u will need to be handy with a welder, preferably MIG unless ur a gun with an ARC.

need to make new mounts ontop of both diffs

need to cut the weld holding the knuckles on the front diff and turn them, not sure on how many degrees they need to be turned. this adjust ya pinion angle back to an acceptable level and also keeps ya castor correct.

then u will the the steering double arm

welded double arm, which is more for comp use

or cast double arm which is wat you would use if u were goin to get it engineered/keep it legal

brake lines are also available thru superior

or any of your local clutch and brake places would do em for ya.

thats about all i can think of, im sure others will put in some more

hey mate just wondering what you mean by rotating the pinion? TO get correct castor angle??? Wouldnt it be easier to get the soa kit from snake racing and the double arm and lines from superior?? If i got the kit from snake would i still need to cut the weld on the knuckles?
