Default LPE tubs

Is Lingenfelter the only ones who sell the mini-tub kit?

They are the only set I have seen. It is not hard to do it yourself if you are familuar with fiberglass. But the big bonus to the LPE kit is that the kit comes with new enlarged innner wheel wells. That is not as easy to make yourself.

I can tell you LG dosen't. I called today to order a set but ended up ordering directly from Lingenfelter. Extreme motorsports in AZ is another sponsor that carries them.

I had the Lingenfelter tub, its by far the best. Sold the car that had it, bought another without it. I still have the Lingenfelter LPE 19x12.5 wheels and michelin pilot sports 345/30's, along with the matching front wheels and tires too. Im debating putting them back on or selling them. Obviously i have to buy another tub, but im worried... my last car had a beefed up rear end. My new one doenst, but its making 600rwhp. Is anyone making big horsepower with 345's and not have a beefed up rear end?

The only usefull part of the LPE kit, IMO, is the wheel well covers. They have a monopoly on them. Some competition would help bring to the price down to something reasonable.
