Bolt On A-Arm Suspension, v.3

[Loranar]

This looks awesome - any chance you have the dimensions on the coil over/control arms - I am definately interested but was actually planning a air ride set-up for my beetle. Wondering if shockwaves etc would fit in there - looks like it

Here's another option, looks like they are producing it now. I wonder what they are asking for it, I think most people who think these things should be cheap will be surprised!

Thats pretty darn good considering a generic, overseas produced, standard optioned streetrod setup starts at $2500. That Eyeball stuff is talked about like it's top notch, means it prolly is.


*side note*
That is prolly the only episode of South Park that I was ever able to get my wife to sit through... she actually found humour in Chef's dad telling the story of Nessie oweing him money. "Seems like it was bout tree fiddy!" :chef:

Volkdent,
Did Bruce at Eyeball discuss how much he has tested his setup and how it handles? Also, do you know if it only fits the ball front end, or will it work with the LP also?

Thanks, I'm getting excited.

I only know of two cars running the design, a topless, roll-caged, drag-type car, and a show car that probably hasn't seen a dirty street yet.

I recall seeing a second set of holes on the front plate that looked to be in the position of the link-pin type front end, but I can't say for sure. It wouldn't be to difficult to make Bruce's or my design work for both, Pete's will have to have have a second version built.
