Re: Traction Kit Group Buy info "Upgraded KARS Stage III Kit"

Let me introduce myself. I am the trying to be silent side of 561motorwerks. I will answer the occasional question on this board. I have personally built many cars of all makes and models, ranging form 5 second 200+mph Pro Mod drag cars to spec Miattas. I currently have a 8 second street car out touring the USA, with many engagements scheduled, including several as a show piece in the Manufacturers Midway at the NHRA Poweraide Series, and a 90% complete 6 second full tube chassis drag car powered by 183ci motor.

There will be a conflict with either BMR kit installed. This kit will replace the BMR equipment. The pinion mount will take the same location as the BMR does, and the cross bar will replace the BMR cross bar, (anti wheel hop kit). This kit encompasses both of the BMR kits in one, and ties into several more mounting locations for more stability. Frankly, I am not sure how well the BMR kit works based on the design. If you already have a BMR kit, and are happy with the results, than this is not the kit for you. If you already have a BMR kit, and are experiencing a mediocre results,as I suspect you are, than this kit can be purchased to replace the BMR kit for excellent results. BMR appears to do some quality work, it just may lack some design.

Re: Traction Kit Group Buy info "Upgraded KARS Stage III Kit"

How much NVH was added with this kit? How long have you been running your kit? Any warranty if something is to break on the kit? Would you give a discount if someone was to make a wicked sweet youtube video of the install?

I'm waiting for my dam paycheck and I'll be in on this!

Re: Traction Kit Group Buy info "Upgraded KARS Stage III Kit"

Cadillac Jack AKA Chris will have to answer most of your question. I will answer a portion, and that is, I will stand behind the part. I am aware that you do not know me from Adam, but let me assure you that I have a well established business, build many parts, and will not send them out if they are going to come back.

NVH was not an issue at all for me. You can even ask Nikon as he was in my car alot and we both never heard anything really at all. I have been running the kit for about a year and again it was one of the best mods I ever did for my V. I got alot more use out of my car being able to launch alot harder with traction and no wheel hop which in the end helped save the POS diff that cadillac gave me for the V.

As far as the vid is concerned...I will get back to you on that one

Re: Traction Kit Group Buy info "Upgraded KARS Stage III Kit"

Chris, do the kits come with the aluminum spacers and, if we have Specter bushings installed, can they work in conjunction with the Kars Kit or will the aluminum spacers replace them? Thanks.

Re: Traction Kit Group Buy info "Upgraded KARS Stage III Kit"

Subscribing! looks like a quality piece. I have been contemplating picking up an 04 or 05 V, but the hooror storries about the wheel hop and breaking diffs has somwhat talked me out of buying one.

Anyone that uses this product, please post up how it works!

Re: Traction Kit Group Buy info "Upgraded KARS Stage III Kit"

Hi, is there any problems when running the B&B 3" exhaust? Looks kinda tight and BMR has issues.

Thanks
