Joe.... you rate! Don't worry. If you go back and do a little diggin' I am pretty sure I answered this question already. If I didn't, my apologies, and YES... there will be a trailing arm conversion coming out for the square bodies as well.

Got the cross member in, going to put the rear springs on
and then soon as the u-bolts get here she will be rolling!

I already purchased ECE's extreme drop crossmember, but my trailing arms ... they're just ugly. I like this better, and it saves me from making blocks.

Questions:

- How long till the panhard bar will be released?

- Is there any other option in the meantime (for panhard bar)?

- Any e-brake provisions?

- Will the geometry be much different...I mean to say, if I've laready drilled for my bags using the ECE center crossmember and the stock trailing arms, will I be re-drilling anything because of differences (either the framerail holes or the CPP C-Notch plate where bags mount)?

- Are these powdercoated, are there diff't prices for PC'd versus non-PC'd?

- Do you have any plans for shock relocation to this, or is this a n00b question?

- What is average pay-to-ship time?

I'm trying to get my frame, etc. in for powdercoating by Oct 1st. After looking at my trailing arms this weekend, they're good, but man ... meh. This is nicer and more inline with what I want.

shifty · 09-14-2009, 04:48 PM

oh, and i should add, i may have a member that wants to buy my ECE unit. i'd love to make a choice by end of week. i actually have the spare cash on hand now that i've paid off all of my debt earlier this year

chapster · 09-15-2009, 06:27 PM

Hey Nate,

Your killing us. Give us some pics

shifty · 09-16-2009, 11:28 PM

Hey y'all,

I just want to say, I had five million questions - Nate called me earlier today, took 20 minutes out of his day to sit down and talk with me, explain to me all the ins-and-outs of what he's got to offer right now, give me an ETA on manufacture time, cut me a bulk deal, and we talked shop for a bit after.

Class guy! Thanks, Nate!

If my stuff is so much as 20mins late..... I know who I'm calling to gripe at!!

shifty · 09-17-2009, 02:17 PM

For real, man! I sent the guy a PM 5 minutes ago and he STILL hasn't answered it yet, WTF?!

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-17-2009, 03:12 PM

Get used to it.

I normally return private messages same day (usually at night). If you're extremely impatient.... I may make you wait longer.

E-mails seem to be easiest for me.

I was referring to Shifty. The nerve of that guy taking up my valuable time.... err, I mean your valuable time away from my stuff

.
I mean 20mins??? Seems a bit excessive

. .....

Did we get parts in??

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-17-2009, 05:21 PM

Hopefully tomorrow I will post some installed pic's, I keep running
into snags that are starting to frustrate me. (Not with the parts)

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-18-2009, 08:37 PM

I'm done, now we just need it to stop raining

chapster · 09-18-2009, 09:20 PM

Hey luv2xclr8

When you say done are talking about the complete rear kit or just the rear trailing arms?

LUV2XCLR8 · 09-19-2009, 07:16 AM

Chapster,

I'm building a Corvette with Brick Aerodynamics

(My Build thread will be bumped when I get pic's)

I am running coils on all 4's I got the crossmember,
trailing arms, & the shock mount / panard brackets.

SCOTI · 09-19-2009, 12:06 PM

Nice. I'm waiting on mine since we changed a thing or two (I think he's on to me about one of 'those' kind of customers.....

).
