RE: GPM Aluminum Suspension Parts
OW! thats hot man!
I was looking at those hub pieces, and I think I am going to get them.
Let us know if you end up ripping the A arms off the bulkheads with those alum arms on there. Thats what happens to the funfactor with alum arms on, but I wasnt sure how the nem/gen takes them.
I like the annodized braces too!
Is that a titanium or alum shaft in your upper A arms?

RE: GPM Aluminum Suspension Parts
Is there a site from the mfg. of GPM parts? Not a secondary site that sells GPM parts(ie. Tower, ebay etc.) And, what does GPM stand for? Thanks in advance, J Weaver.

Yes I have tested the 2mm set I made. They work pretty well!!! I am still looking for 3mm wire to test. Work has been very demanding and intrusive, so fun has been invaded abit much so "testing" has been minimal.

Nomobux,
Bling on!!
Be prepared to do a bit of messaging on the outside ends of the lower arms to get full articulation.
You shouldn't have to do much but some will be required.
If you want I will post picts to show you how much I had to do to get as much swing as I could.[8D]

RE: GPM Aluminum Suspension Parts
Everything is here. Knuckles, c-hubs, upper arms, lower arms, streering, and 8 shocks. Nice looking stuff. I'm in the midst of teardown, cleaning and bagging all the old parts. I can see this will take a little time to fit and assemble things. I'm doing all of mine in silver, figuring that red or blue anno will get nicked up and look like hell eventually. Dog .. any tips on assembly ? Looks straight forward, with the worst part setting the a-arm adjustments. I'll measure and match the stockers initially.

Got all the parts coming priority for my Gen. I figure weight really isn't an issue anyway. Bling on .. lol

Dog .. Any reason why the upper arm can't be flopped, so that the lock screws are facing down? Mite look cleaner and also keep a lil crud out.

RE: GPM Aluminum Suspension Parts
Good Morning Nomobux,
The only problrm I found with turning the screws down was the screw that sinched the ball end hit the C-hub at full compression of the suspension.
It might a bit different for you though so check it out.
I am taking care of a couple things here at work but I will be home in abit to start my tear down to show you the areas to clearance to get full articulation
