Got him!
Their machines are down and a new is installed. However they're late in their schedule and need to work on their normal tasks around the clock for a short while.
"After that, no problem" he said, but when? He'll call me in a week to tell when it's going to happen.
Hope you're still there then?

Well, now the order for 10 pairs of Instant Center brackets is placed.
However, he couldn't say when could deliver and the price should be around USD 95.00 including air shipping to your address.

The kit will consist of tailordesígned 5 mm laser cut Domex-steel brackets for the B-body rear end which you bolt to your loosened lower rear control arm (one at the time) and weld to the stock rear end brackets.

The idea is to get an ever lower alternative for the control arm to get a much better reaction of the rear end - to get a better hook.

It'll work with any brand control arm that already fits in a B-body rear end.
However, you cannot use the swaybar in its ordinary place when control arms in this position because it will possible drag the ground.

To see what it looks like and how to mount it please visit my website!

Which ones will be the ten buyers?

Thanks!

I'm in too. You can put me down as Mike O'Donnell. I can send you the money later on this week if you'd like just like Karl...and if it works out to be a little more, then I'll send you the difference.

Don't send any money until I have the brackets.
I'll add each one of you on that number's list above when you've decided.
Then I'll get back to you for addresses.

Quick question: Can the LCA be changed at the track (low position) and move back to stock for normal driving (i.e. keep swaybar)?

If yes, add me to the list!

EDIT: Just saw your GIF and you can! ADD ME TO THE LIST PLEASE!

When you say it'll help you hook, is that regardless of the track prep? I'm concerned with hook, but not because my car can't get a good launch. I just find it near impossible to get a good hook at the slip and slides like E-town.

Will these help me consistently hook with DRs on a WOT blast off? If so then I could simply install these rather than being forced to get slicks, correct?

That was done at a track that caters to drag racers, not rice racers, on a day where 80% of the cars had 14" slicks and the groove was as visible as the yellow brick road. However, go to E-town on a Saturday afternoon and every squirrel in a 200 mile radius is out there with their street tires, shopping cart wings on the back of their Honda' and the whole damn track is as shinny as hell. The only guys hooking up then run SLICKS!!!!

My goal is to not have to worry about the launch. It makes it so much easier to win if I can just nail it at the line and run it out WOT to the end.
