Wishbone suspension bolt on kit

lazylongboarder · #1 April 5th 2005, 03:01

I really really really really really want this to work and quick! You know not to rush you. I just placed an order with cb performance for my new puma beam, dropped spindles, and other misc. stuff then I read all about this new a-arm setup your building. All i want is the estimated time frame, so just in case I can post pone the front suspension and move to the rear and cancel my order. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS or else they'll send my order and you'll lose a customer on this slick concoction (spelling?).

There is at least a couple more months before the actual suspension is built. Then it has to be thoroughly tested and tweaked to make sure its up for sales quality. Then theres the possible rebuilding to be able to produce it more inexpensively and quickly. I'd get let your order carry through, because though its going to be amazing when it's all said and done, given how long it's taken to get this far, I'm not thinking its going to be ready for sale for at least 6 months, maybe longer.

Fortunately, except for the beam, all the parts you'll be ordering now will bolt right up to the final product I'm putting together. What I don't know about is if it will be TOO low for you, as it is currently designed with stock KG spindles, and to be a good low ride height. Also, the dropped spindles may actually create geometry that is detrimental to the performance being designed into the system in question.

Sorry its not ready now, I know that I would have loved to just plunk down the cash for this thing myself, but be warned, this will be a large chunk of change when it is ready for sale as well.

Hey Troy,

Cost wise I really don't know.

Honestly, I'm just maintaing the energy to actually finish this thing. The idea of making a jig and going through the motions again isn't something I'm thinking about right now. I just want one for me first! It's been a VERY, VERY long haul, and has consumed a lot of my time and money, but once all the kinks are out, it would be much easier to reproduce.

I just emailed the laser cuttting place again, so hopefullly this week I get a quote.

As far as the rear end is concerned, it is currently composed of VW mkII lower control arms and subframe and KW Variant III coilover struts.

FINALLY! Yesterday I got a reply from the laser cutter. The quote was $500 for cutting and some press brake work. So, theoretically, a couple of weeks from now I should have many of the parts needed to start fabrication, and I'll be sending everything to Walt to get going on it. Is that a small flicker of light I see at the end of the tunnel?

And it's a really bright light!
