Guys--it looks to me like the Speed Evil front end could be (maybe...) bolted directly to cars using an Associated-style front end (looks like Associated/Calandra lower arms, upper pivot ball holders, steering blocks, camber adjusters)? Unless the width becomes absolutely critical with the plate between. I likee...I'd like to tryee. I'm just not (personally) keen on T-bar cars, so I'd like to get a front end or two (ideally just the bespoke pieces) and try it on a couple of my rides.

Maybe if width IS critical if someone could give me the center-center measurement across the front and I'll see if I can persuade Mr. Darkside to drill me a chassis accordingly.

Thanks,

Scottrik,
Because the suspension arms are bridged by a cf plate, the Laje front end will only fit if the front end uses standard AE spacing. I'll measure the spacing on my SE 2006 and post.

Team Laje also sent me some PDF files with all kinds of set up information. In addition they gave me various team drivers set ups from a bunch of different races. They are nice guys to deal with; all in all you couldn't get a car from a more helpful company
