And in with these...
So, I'm now an inch or so lower and much, much better ride quality.
If anyone wants those stock, powdercoated spindles in the first pic, they can have them for free. Just drive out to my shop and pick them out of the scrap pile. Otherwise they are going to the scrap yard to be recycled into Chinese woks or whatever scrap gets used for nowadays.

I wondered if it would go this route or if you were happy w/the 3" units.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
