Has anyone ran Specter Werkes bushings and then installed a KARS kit? Did it help wheel hop more than just with the bushings?

I have the bushings now and get very little wheel hop but if it is going to help protect the rear end even more, I might be in for a kit.

Everyone,

I just received my Kit tonight and it looks great. I was just wondering about the fitment of the kit (disclaimer: I have not held up the kit to the car to see the fit yet).

When I stand the kit on end and lean in next to a wall, it is definitely not symmetrical (the main cross-bar is not horizontal, its at an angle) and it appears that one of the bottom brackets (with the two diagonal holes) is welded on slightly crooked. I doesn't look right, but I have never seen one of these kits in person, so I really don't know. I am just wondering if this is how the kit is supposed to look or did I get a dud. Can one of you guys who made the kit or someone with expertise on this please chime in on this?

I can't tell by looking at that picture, but my kit looks noticeably less symmetrical than the one in the picture. I don't want to be the guy freaking out for nothing, but I also don't want to take my car to a shop to get this kit installed and have it not even remotely fit like it should...

I did not weld every kit personally, so I cannot swear they are all perfect. I will say that I know for a fact that they were all built on the same jig (meaning all of the bolting locations are the same, and all of the bars are in the same place). You should have absolutely no problem with this kit. If by some slight chance that you do, We will replace it.

I considered taking that statement to a much lower level, however, Mary is my wife, and I did not want to introduce too much teenage angst into her life.
Would you like me to reword it?

Sorry, I misread it. I thought you mispelled flirtation, but you were saying Flirt-a-thon.

Got it now,

mary@tps · #**299** (**permalink**) 09-23-08, 04:13 PM

Sounds great Errol. I was mostly wondering about the way it was built (i.e. using a jig, etc.) So after reading what you had to say about it, I am relatively sure that I won't have a problem. Thanks for the quick replies. So far your customer service is excellent. This product is highly recommended.
