Default Trailing and camber rod brackets, gauging interest


I have now found a shop that meets all of our high standards. The best part about it, we can keep the pricing the same as before! They will have them done and Black zinc plated in 4-5 weeks. Just in time for spring
What I need to know is how many people would order them in the next 6 monthes and what year is the car. Both camber and trailing arm brackets for 200 dollars, or 109 a peice.

Let me know before Monday when I put in the order, I just have no idea how many to order on the first batch.

DRM Trailing Arm Brackets
for C4 Corvettes



Precise weight transfer is critical for optimum acceleration, braking and cornering. DRM brackets alter the trailing arm mounting point locations taking some of the anti-squat out of the Corvette. The additional weight transfer results in improved traction. Improvement will be realized at autocross, road course and drag racing events.

DRM Rear Camber Brackets
for C4 Corvettes


The amount of tire in contact with the road determines grip. DRM brackets relocate the camber arms mounting point locations reducing camber change throughout the full range of suspension travel. The added traction these brackets provide will be realized at autocross, road course and drag racing events.

Sounds like a deal. I'd be interested in both for my 88.

One question: Do the camber brackets also permit more negative camber by moving the pivot point farther outboard?

I called and spoke with you about your brackets awhile back, glad to see you found someone to make them to your specs. I'll take a set of both as soon as you get them. Al 94

I've been waiting for this news for years.

Include my name on the list for a set of Rear Camber Brackets for an '89.

As for the Trailing Arm Brackets, I forget - are these principally a benefit
for the earlier (pre-89) cars? Or are they are equally efficacious through
out the model run? If the DRM TABs are an improvement over the OEM
'89 parts, I'll take a set of them as well.

Are you ready to receive calls for payment and shipping info?

All years will benefit from the trailing arm brackets!!! The amount of anti-squat has been designed for the average street car. Ours are for the street car that is raced, drove hard, and for people that like to come out of the hole or out of a slow sweeper.

I can take phone calls, but I'm not ready to ship yet. I will post here and on our website when we are ready.

Thanks
Randy
