Re: Dropmember C4
Ok you so suck! So I am guessing it will have about a 5" ride heigth, right? It will also lay frame to compliment your front C4 set up and how high will it lift? And how much will the floor need to be cut out to tuck 29ish tall tire's? If I did not mention it you totaly suck Lets talk!

I knew you would change your mind! With this set-up there isn't too much of a bed left. The step is equivalent to a 10" notch, plus the rocker arms set on top of the rails. There are a couple other designs I have that mount the air springs in a different configuration... I just like how mechanical the rocker arms look.

Re: Dropmember C4
Love the new back half!!!! Looks beautiful!!!! I really like how you have the 4 link setup also. It looks clean and strong. So how does it connect to a stock frame? Also how hard is that to ship?

Re: Dropmember C4
Nate,
- Can the DMC4 use a stock 'Vette anti-sway? What about the transverse leaf? - Did you ever solidify an under floor style mounting system for the rear 'waves? - Are there provisions for rear bumper mounting with the back-half? - Any cab mods needed besides the high-hump? Just brainstormin' a little... Thanks -Chris

Re: Dropmember C4
- Can the DMC4 use a stock 'Vette anti-sway? What about the transverse leaf?
The transverse leaf is not compatible with this set-up. Also, I have not fit up a factory sway bar. - Did you ever solidify an under floor style mounting system for the rear 'waves? I do have an "under the floor" set-up... but it isn't with the Shockwaves. It incorporates a convoluted bag and a shock. "Under the floor" is a loose term, it should read "not higher than the top of the framerail". I am building a custom chassis with this rear bag set-up and will post pics when I have it all completed. - Are there provisions for rear bumper mounting with the back-half? No provisions provided. - Any cab mods needed besides the high-hump? You shouldn't have to worry about any additional mods to the cab.

Re: Dropmember C4
No it's not. The one in ST will be kept quiet (as far as pics go) until I have the rolling chassis and some sheet-metal on it!

29.7" tire 6-8" ride height to match/compliment the front C4 dropmember. Will it work for me Nate? Got any pics of this?

The product Chris is referring to is the weld-in back-half... I build them custom per order and can build it suit any need. It would compliment the DropmemberC4 nicely!

Re: Dropmember C4
Swapmeet, Internet site, E-bay, or Craigslist. I got my 96 front suspension & brakes off of CL.

Re: Dropmember C4
Nice score on the '96 stuff with 13" rotors. I ended up with '94 stuff so I've got the 12" rotors. Still good but not as nice as the 13's.

Not everything sells right away in those venues..... The guy had the F/R suspension listed as a pkg deal but I did not need the rear (Dana 36). After driving out for a first hand look w/cash in hand, he sold me just the front for half what I thought it would cost me .

Re: Dropmember C4
I'm more interested in performance then looks so the C4 (or the not yet released C5) DM is very interesting. However, how much of a performance difference will I see over the regular DM? I would use tubular control arm with the regular DM since I already have them.
I guess what I am really asking is if its worth the extra money? Thanks
