details on the rear end set up please.

rc's repro gnx suspention kit .. See pete hoffman @ kirbans or paul castle @ world of motorworks. Had it out today on dry ground & had some fun . The damn thing hops like a bunny then grab & go very little wheel spin at all .. Hooks on a line no steering wheel .. Cant wait till friday to run some passes on her and see what ive really got .. Btw on wet ground it only spins a few feet then grab & go ..it's amazing gm had this set up right !! No more melting tires unless i want to ..

I've seen this set up on Kirbans personal car. It was very nice looking. He explained that instead of swatting the car will actually lift the rear up but it still gets the traction.

the lifting effect places alot of ground pressure on the diff. The car rises then settles ..blows me away every time i launch. Coolest thing since bread

This is because of the torque arm. It goes about halfway up the passenger compartment and keeps the torque from the rear in check. I'm sure some of you remember the way leaf spring suspension can hop really badly? The torque of the rear trying to spin in a reverse direction of the tires is now directed toward the front of the car and transfers more weight to the rear for traction.:biggrin:

Are these kits still available anywhere?
