Hey guys ,

in the process of updating my front suspension with some pretty unique stuff .. The K member was cut , braced and a new stiletto rack was installed . Next step i will be replacing the complete front brake assembly with Strange drag race setup using billet hub assembly ..Stay tuned if interested . Thanks

Thanks guys , Needed to make more room for my new Box style oil pan and as always weight loss is always on my mind lol

Yeah driving the car with stock rack and no power steering started to get out of hand ..

Very kewl... do you have any idea how much weight you cut out?

red L98

I will know once i set the car back on the 4 corner scales ..

that new oil pan is eye candy.

nice work
what are doing for a sway bar ?

Probably none for a drag car...... I took mine off last year... Save weight and freer front suspension travel....

Front Sway bars are usually removed in drag cars, i have travel limiters that are adjustable to limit suspension travel and also double adjustable coilovers . The rear sway bars are replaced with Anti roll bars

oh yes, get it now !

Nice looking pan. I have the same one on my car and had to notch the crossmember so it would fit

Looks great!

Did you happen to weigh the old and new parts? I have contemplated replacing some of the braces with lighter tubing.

My buddy just got done machining the spindle and modifying brackets to fit the Strange brake kit ... No more factory hub assembly, it's all billet aluminum that can be rebuilt as needed .

red L98

I honestly did not , but i do have the 4 corner weight for the car before and will be scaling it afterwards .. The new brake setup should be close to 10lbs per wheel and the rack was only 5lbs vs the stock one that was close to 15lbs .

Looking good.

I really like the brake/spindle conversion.

With that pan I assume you are converting to a driver side starter as well?

Yes driver side starter . I ended up going to a 139 tooth flywheel with matching starter ..
