Not a very efficient exhaust flapper with that giant hole in it...��

They are building the fixture for the lower mounts now. Once we have some welded I will attach a photo for you.

Re: Sneak peak of Founders Performance newest part

Nice looks solid.

Anotger question. My foubders cc plates have bronze bushed sphericals tgat do not fit the stick or koni shocks. Whats up with that. Wuthout the bushes the sphericals are way to big. I have 4 sets of j&m and they do not have this issue

Tnx

We don't use bronze bushings in our camber plates. Send a photo over to sales@foundersperformance.com.

Re: Sneak peak of Founders Performance newest part

I have a photo here. The thicker part of the strut under the thread won't fit. Online pics all show steel reducer sleeves but mine are definetely bronze. They are founders and not j&m hotpart. Have those on my other 3 and they have plated bearing assemblies

That picture doesn't help us. Email us a photo of the bearing without the strut so we can see what reducer bushing is installed. We also need the name the order was placed under so we can look up the order.

Re: Sneak peak of Founders Performance newest part

Aren't the lower mounts just like the UMI double shear shock mounts? Reason I ask is I have OEM style Viking double adjustable rear shocks in the stock location and always wondered about the lower mount. How would these brackets work with the shocks I have?

Arctic... Might be a good idea if one of us ordered the kit and I took the bottoms and u took the tops. I never want to do coil overs again lol.

Sorry but we won't be offering any first run discounts. Our price point on these is already a lot less expensive compared to others.
