Overall Assessment

Customers highlight the high quality, excellent fit, and versatility of the suspension kit. Many comment it's perfect for Speedway frames and other types of projects. The kit is noted for its sturdiness, with the inclusion of heavy gauge steel brackets. Some mention that it's the only company offering such a kit at a competitive price. While the kit doesn't come with a front bracket for the arms, this is taken in stride as it's assumed it's designed for a z'ed frame. Despite the links being at a 7-degree angle, it still efficiently serves a range of suspensions.

Great kit! Heavy gauge steel brackets. Will terst the arms on the track to see how well it's going to hold up. The only downside id that there is no front bracket for the arms in this kit. I am assuming its for a z'ed frame where you would bolt the arms directly to the frame.

This style 4 link works with many 20 to 40 era suspensions. The parallel links are 7° on the non-adjustable side. But this still can work for most suspensions.
