Great work. This photo really brings home just how incredible the engineering is in these rear ends. You get the feeling that the guys who designed it had Heim Link Rods in mind but the bean counters shut them down. Having the Banski kit in my 96' I've got to tell you that you will be very pleased with the results. Keep up the excellent photo's and document whatever you can. Makes this forum more enjoyable and exciting. We all live through others journeys and it enriches our live because of it. At least tell us what your plans are so we can look forward to the results and maybe give/get a little guidance.
