DRM trailing & camber rod brackets
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.

I did a run of about 40 sets of each item. Sold them all besides some 84-87 camber rod brackets, which weren't that hot of a item. I just made the phone to see if the shop that builds these is very busy or not. Lunch time, so I'm sure we will hear something soon.
How many people would be interested??? I hate parts sitting on the shelves not moving

Here's a whole article on C4 rear suspensions. I've got measurements and pictures of the part that Randy is talking about.

but he may not get enough customers to make them if you're giving out his dimensions.

One thing no one has said yet is, do we need to re think our rear suspension alignment, as these brackets make the rear suspension more efficient/effective.
ps, I like mine, they are pretty. Seriously my car does handle a little better by my SOTP as I have a special road I abuse, and I am able to go in and out faster without my suspension getting pissed.

Looks like it's happening.
I would would you could run a less aggressive alignment, but that's really a question for DRM

Alignment with the DRM brackets raises a good question.
I'm seeing alot of outside tire wear with approx. 0.7 degrees of negative camber on the rear. I'm thinking I need even more negative camber, or a stiffer rear bar (22 mm rear bar presently).

I am running -1.2 rear with 315's, but I only have about a 1000 miles of abuse on them, and no strange tire wear, yet.

Mine arrived yesterday.I'm going to use the street alignment specs posted by Randy in the other thread.
