Would the US kits come with a front diff like the 05?

Also, on the pricing of the kit. Obviously cost is still sketchy on this kit, so right now it is just an estimation. But we will do everything we can to provide the best price on this kit for you guys. We have a very aggressive pricing strategy for all the car kits we stock for 2006.

Talking

Now the important questions:

1) Will the US kits come with a battery strap?
2) What type of diffs will the US kits come with?
3) With the redesigned rear suspension will we be able to run foams without having the bottom of the rear shock rubbing the wheel when mounted on the outer A arm hole?

Default New Shocks on the T2?

...and hoping the shocks have been redesigned internally and noticed silver springs (new color)- could this be a good sign

Well, if they follow the trend:
-No Battery Strap
-Dual Diff
-Who knows??

Check this image

Look at how they removed material to let the shock sit inside the arm...

also note how they have removed material from the arm to clear the wheel as the suspension is compressed.....

As far as the battery strap - doubtful
Diffs? - hopefully ball diff or both.....if only 1 I vote ball diff!!!

any idea if the fk05 outdrive/hubs (with the screw/washer) will be compatible. i really prefer that style over the nut/bolt.

Doesn't look like the old style will be a direct drop in...

from the looks of things the wheel bearings are smaller, meaning only nut lock

It looks like the spring steel axels are the same.
Meaning, you could use the FK05 Hubs, bearings and wheel adapters if you want to use the washer style.
