Is anybody here running or has used a drop shackle, primarily that is pinned up on road? I'm just wondering about how effective they would be on a zook. I was keen to watch them in action on Kermit at TTC but he kept braking stuff so i couldnt really get to see them. I would be using them in a SPOA configuration. I dont want to hear about them being illegal etc either..

One of the guys in the club has them - can't remember who, it's been a while since I've seen the car at any of the meetings - but from what I've heard they go really well.

unsure about legal in nsw but get the climax shackles from liam at bigballs awwwwwsome ,brilliant engineering too

Hey if i had that sort of $$$$ i would. Bugger that but...

Cam drop shackles are a good way of getting more flex but just be carefull with sprung over axles that you don't get too much axle rap and snap the pinion or tailshaft.I would recommend them for the front as trucks that i have seen them on the front loose steering acuracy as if you watch carefully the diff actually move sideways up to 3 inches.
Just my 2 cent worth.

ps I will get up there soon to go wheeling hopefully with the new Zook though.

Hey v8zuki


The climax shackles r actually made here at newy where cam n myself aswel as a few others reside there actually made n also sold by Metrocheck automotive deano the owner had his rig withem on at TTC parked next 2 the BBalls tent if u were there ( wat em i sayin wasnt every mad 4ber there it was awesome !!! ).


I know Al duncan luvs em but he only uses them at certain comps (he has told me specificaly but me 4gotten)


thats my 2cents worth

Hey cam y not sell the 1litre n buy my rig good flex and as u know luxes just cant keep up (heheheh hypo) go on then u could run dual t cases 1.3 n 1 ltr go on go on go on

Dino from metrocheck (climax shackles) saw my post and invited me to come around to watch them in action on his zook. I would like to thank dino for spending a few hours with me and donating his valuable time explaining to me how they work. I would also like to thank alan duncan (kermit) for taking me for a drive to show me them in action in as well.
From what i have seen they work brilliantly, and because they pin up, it is very simple to either have them in action or not.

My mind is very much made up about their effectiveness. Any queries contact Dino and he would be more then happy to help you.

PS...Sam i am holding you to that...there are a few track up shuggy that we would like to show you!

I was thinking of putting a set of these on my high top drover on the rear, but what do you do to the front to give the front a chance to catch up with the back.

cheers

They work well on the front of a sierra as well.
