We didn't have to do any fender mods for those wheels and tires.

I won't personally be there, but some of the Ridetech crew will be around. We will have a C2- C3 chassis in the booth!

Thanks much. Look forward to seeing your team there and especially the display of the components.

Love it! Wish this was available 8 years ago! I run C-4 stuff with a custom frame.

Default OEM Brake Adpaters

We recently released a kit the allows the OEM front rotors and calipers to be retained when switching to our front suspension kit. We had a lot of request for this over the last few years, so we listened. The kit comes with and adapter bracket to adapt the OEM caliper to our spindle. Plus, it includes a hub to retain the OEM rotor. It is a bolt in kit to help make life easier while being easy on the wallet.

I attached a link to the kit on our website.

The front stuff and differential crossmember look great. But as we say in Texas, oh HAIL NO to those rear trailing arms. I am so not gonna stick my hand in there to get the stub axles bolted up to the spindle flange. You might want to reconsider that design. Thanks for the post!

These trailing arms are fantastic. Mike Dyer modified my Ridetech arms to work with my 1480 axles. No problem bolting in the halfshafts at all. These things are really strong. Too late for me on the front but I think you did a great thing here with this conversion kit Rodney. Good stuff!

Hi Rodney - This looks like a well thought out piece of Kit - what tests have you undertaken ? have you undertaken a full track test assessment under racing conditions ? what feedback have you received on lineal and lateral suspension travel and overall mechanical grip ? - Thanks in advance - GV

All of the suspension parts are currently available.

And what tire you have on these wheels? Do the fit inside the fender to give nice stance?
