DRM trailing arm brackets
Does anybody know the anti squat of the rear suspension after installing the DRM brackets? Since nobody can buy the damn things anymore if I can just get the percentage of antisquat I could just calculate what needs to be done to get there and make a pair. Better yet if anybody knows the specs on the brackets themselves that would save some time.

What is your intended use of the car? The DRM brackets actually reduce the amount of anti-squat. Despite the claims, they actually make launch traction worse. So unless you are a road-course only kind of guy, you want to go the opposite direction with the Anti-Squat.
Now their rear camber brackets, on the other hand, are an outstanding addition to keep the tires flat on the pavement. I don't think DRM is selling them anymore, but Vette Brake Products probably does.

Yep the car is only going to be used in road racing. It would maybe see the strip one time in its life just to bs around. As fas as the camber brackets I already have the appropriate measurments and will make them shortly along with the camber rods.

I thought about ordering 2 more sets from them to cut down / tap / re-thread the rod ends and use them as trailing arm (AKA 4 link). I think they would work great and they even give you the right size spacers to boot.
Good luck!

I didn't know that VBandP made them also. I think bying a set would work just fine for me and save a little time. Still going to make my own camber/trailing/sway bar links the damn prices anybody charges for those are outrageous
Besides fabricating your own stuff whenever you can is pretty cool.

a good deal of information already.
