The new Speedmerchant front end is great!
at least slop can be reduced easily by adjustment instead of replacing parts. xray arent cheap to replace compared to other brand which parts are not locally available. I run my car about twice per weak using 4.5t motor on asphalt track all year long. if I have to replace parts for slop that is one set of front end every month.
I am dreaming someone someday will make a car I want which is a matric crc front end on xray chassis using xray grade material.
