It's not that much work, but I'm just not all that fond of cutting away this much material and weakening the part. I'd like to buy a few sets that are milled off the bottom of the suspension block itself. Anyone know where I can find a few sets or am I gonna have to take the time to make them myself?
Thanks.
Shaving the top of the old skool arms is not going to weaken them too much. Matter of fact, the place I have only hat them break is the bottom kingpin to the base of the arm part. People shave the steering blocks because then you only have to be accurate once, the steering blocks rarely if ever break.
If you find the old skool blocks modded anywhere, post a link. I'd buy them just because they would have to be more accurate than the ones that are spat out of AE's mold.
