Today is supposed to be the LD3S release. Anyone found a U.S. distributor with them in stock?

It was a quick fix but my B6.4 would've just shaken it off. So far I haven't broken anything on either car but a front arm on the 4whl, totally my fault though. On carpet I've heard the lower front plate can crack on really hard front hits but carpet is hard on everything.
What would I need to run the front shock tower in front of the shocks on my Ld3? Thanks for your help, Dave.

LD3s is now showing up as in stock on Amain and my account shows a estimated delivery date. Discount-rc still shows as pre-order but might change tomorrow.

About 5 hours in. Taking my time and pulled off ti turnbuckles, al diff, rear aluminum sway link, and sway bars off my previous one. Thanks Schumacher for keeping these parts compatible!!! (RIP Lunsford ) Can’t wait! Kinda wish I had the budget to buy the ceramic bearings but next year :/. I was going to pull the shocks off as well but I might as well keep everything as new as possible.





she’s built!


Just a camber tune all around and toe needs to be set. These things got no weight on it!!! If you plan to be roar legal get some weight. I got the brass radio tray, brass front weight and aluminum pivot head. Estimated weight came out to just above 1450. Don’t check me bro!

Anyone know if Schumacher released any U8629 E-H inserts on 11/30 like they originally posted? Now they just show “out of stock.”

If I’m going to run only on CRC black carpet, would the LD3S be the right choice? Also, what backup parts should I have in my pit bag? Thanks
