Re: CPP's Trailing Arm Kit

Yes.

PB's arms can be adjusted in length & pinion angle. They also have 1" of drop built into the arm & have much less bind (none, within limits) during articulation.

The CPP kit has single fixed position front mounts (no adjustment for pinion).
The CPP kit has single fixed poly bushed ends (no adjustment for length).
Their tubing construction w/the fixed position poly bushed ends will also have inherent bind since they are rigid mounted to the rear end.

PB's T/A's utilize adjustable spherical joints that allow 30° of non binding articulation & are adjustable for length (OE truck arms used the I-beam construction & rubber bushings up front to limit binding). They also have a multi position front mount for adjusting pinion.

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.
