It's a liability issue.

Thanks, after looking at the Cobra Automotive page, I went to our local bearing store and found that bronze bushing. I asked the guy if he had a sealed bearing with the same ID. He showed me an R-14 2-RS bearing, I had the bronze bushing in one hand and the bearing in the other. I like making my own stuff and I thought to myself, ''putting a bearing in there would be a lot more work, but way cool, and it won't ever need grease!'' so I gave him the bronze bushing back and bought the bearings.

All the kudos buddy. You do some nice work...

Let me know if you want to go retail and we'll start selling them for you..

PS Just about every aftermarket suspension company today has the "for off road use only" disclaimer.

i'd suggest a stock 6 cylinder front spring and a standard eye 5 leaf for the back with the adjustable shackles in the back for drag racing. as for shocks i'd use a set of competition engineering or lakewood drag shocks to get the best weight transfer possible

Ok will the 6 cylinder springs drop the front or raise it combined with the lake wood drag shocks??? do they make the drag shocks just for our year stangs???? Also is it better to buy brand new 6 cyl shocks?...id imagine it would be :shryg:I have KYB shocks on it now.....will stock 5 leafs raise up the rear a bit, or should i get the 1 1/2 inch lift rear springs that i saw

I did by the adjustable shackles but they didnt work in my leafs, the bolts were too small, i had bought the universal shackle kit from napa.
