crewcabss Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 ok so im designing and builing my own performance suspension kit for light chevy trucks. the arms are half the weight of stock arms and are desinged useing off road technology. i work as a fabricator at a well know off road shop and have been in the business for a while so the arms are plenty strong. i built a boxed lower arm a custom drop spindle, and a boxed upper arm. i need to know what kind of market is out there for something like this stuff? what would you guys pay for something like this? does this even interest some of you? i am trying design this kit to ride like a cadillac yet handle like a sports car. there will be an upgraded sway bar option to achieve the sports car handling. i am curious to some opionons... tell me what you think. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgwakeup Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 make it so the awd models can use it and im sure it would be a hit... duh? caddy and sports car? maybe around 500 including rear leafs or something... est. off what the kits are going for now and if yours is really better mark it up or even keep it the same until you get going and then once you get a noticeable market mark it up..

drako Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Even though our trucks are big pigs we are into turning ;) I currently have the basic suspension mods, beltech nitro shocks, hotchkis front and rear sway bars, beltech drop spindles .

drako Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Dude Steve I was gonna mention this in the thread . . . "PM Mister P I am pretty sure he would be interested in this and he would know the questions to ask" But last minute thought against it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 im always interested in weight savings, and cornering, but im curious as to what you did to the new arms that gives them an advantage in handling. the only way id buy them though is if i could retian all my current parts (sway bars, baer brakes, beltech shocks,etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
