Thanks for the suggestions. Didn't think about the c hubs. Looked them up though and a custom part maker has them in aluminum (6 deg). Sounds more durable at least? and would look pretty cool.
Got some hubs and knuckles coming tomorrow along with a new spur gear and a couple pinions that should get me to 4.31 and 4.76 fdr, a bit closer to what you guys are running. There may be a couple other things in the package as well.
Gonna hold off on the springs and whatever else until I can get this thing around the track more than 4 times without tearing it to pieces. Or maybe I should just get the whole catalog in realization that this is the stage of my noobness that making mistakes at speed will most likely happen.
At least I should be up and running tomorrow night.

Stick to 4 deg. castor blocks. Aluminum suspension parts are usually avoided, since they bend instead of break (and you won't notice they are bent, but it will affect the handling of your car).
See you guys Wednesday!

Well, the UPS man came and went. No box...
Just talked to Superior and they said someone must have grabbed the package and put it in the Priority Mail pile so it won't be here till tomorrow. Mail gets here around 4 so if I can get everything together I'll see you guys tomorrow night.
What time do you usually meet?

It's looking like my parts aren't going to make it today. Too bad considering the potential turnout this evening.
This may be a blessing in disguise as I've been able to re-familiarize myself with my chassis and do some research into setups and the use of alternate parts (the 6.1 has some considerable "upgrades"). Considering my heavy hands behind the wheel, I'll need all the knowledge I can get!
See you all after the holidays,

Oh...one other thing. Do I need a transponder for timing? What should I get?
