It's easy to tell you have sour grapes ronnie since you tell people to buy from a COPY CAT! Don
This is the first I've heard of the copycat thing. What's this about? As far as the money spent; I have bought (2) sets of upper arms, different strut rods, a second set of spindles, different wheels, tried other bushings, different shocks, and at least half a dozen front end alignments. And I did this willingly as I was told to try this stuff to eliminate different scenarios(sp?). My only sour grapes is the fact that it still isn't perfect after lots of dollars and 5 yrs later. Nothing else. I DON'T GET WHERE I'M THE BAD GUY HERE!!! There is obviuosly problems with them or the production wouldn't have stoped. ALL I WANT IS MY S#!T TO WORK, AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. And besides that, my car is closing in on the 150 mph mark on a little tire and leaf springs. Not sure what your car runs like, but maybe the faster you go you may or may not have a problem, I don't know. I'm glad yours works, just wish mine did too. I just know my car has a problem, and it's NOT the car or anyone who has worked on trying to help fix it. And there are a few others with the same problem, and all we ever ask for was to fix the problem. That's pretty simple, I think. But that's just me.
Take care

Did you ever fix the brake shimmy???I have been dealing with the same problems since day one..I have all the updated stuff and even spent the money for the 2.25 front wheels and still have the shake..last time I talked to Rob about it..he told me to try the alterkation adjustable strut rods..I am thinking about trying them..
any thoughts..
Hey Chris, I tried the factory strutrods, and they seemed a little worse than the aluminum strutrods. I'm going to put Bill Reilly's this year. I have the 2.25 wheels too. Still the same. I'll keep you posted if anything fixes it.
later

I guess it's true that there are 2 sides to a story.. BECAUSE THAT ISN'T THE STORY I HEARD!!
Probably wouldn't be, depending who your friends are. And I'm not really interested in hearing your side of the story and getting into this again. It's not worth getting ticked off about. I'm over it!
But you are welcome to come down this way and I'll show you my parts list and receipts, and anything else you want to see. No problems here. I have nothing to hide and no reason to lie about anything.
Take care God Bless

As far as BondoBob's k being a copy cat, come on man, any good fabricator can come up with a similar design without even seeing an LRT.
In one of Bondo's threads on here Rob accused him of stealing his steering arm design. To me, Bob's were not that close to Rob's, and Rob's are not that much different than the AJE ones I have, or the ones a buddy of mine built for his Valiant 10 years ago.
I had Bob make some one-off ball joint cups for my Daytona. I had an idea in my head what they should look like, but just let Bob do his thing. He made them exactly how I was thinking they should be. Did he steal my idea, or is it just the fact that there are only so many ways you can do something?
