It looks pretty much the same as the kpr kit but they added a side step in the steering rack for the inner tie rod to correct the steering geometry(do u even use a dust boot?) and it's made out of steel. Looks pretty sweet tho! If I didn't already have the KPR kit then I would def look into getting this set up! It also would be sweet if they cam with different outer tie rod adapters with different ackerman settings!
Dose any body know what the cost is going to be and have any more spec info? (what kinda steel will it be made out of, what's the trailing wheels angle, dose the kit also raise the roll center?)

Lol well both kits can adj camber and caster, u can raise the roll center a bit if u build it into the lower control arms that the knuckle with the ball joint hooks into.

Well they sell the kit for the S Chassie for $250 and $400 for modifying the knuckles for you, this kit for the Z has a lot more in the kit and more R&d was req so it will cost quite a bit more than $400

Here are more pics of the PBM ones... I soooo can't wait..
They are also about to drop their new camber arms, toe arms and traction rods for the Z...
Toe adjustable rear lower arm eliminates spring boat for use with our true coil-over-damper rear suspension.
Traction Rod
Camber arms

looks beefy.............
adjusting camber and caster at these points are not recommended unless you do so identically on each side and at that its not ideal/preferred....
you should still purchase upper control arms for camber adjustment and SPL upper arms if you care to adjust caster as well....
What course do you plan to use these on is what i would ask anyone looking to drop cash on these, as most events don't even require angle that big? or because your incorrectly wanting them because you run super wide wheels up front with incorrect offsets and widths for serious competitive or correct drifting requirements....
i like the build quality, looks robust with easily replaceable, reproducible parts.....in case something were to break in comparison to the kpr kit....
some parts look direct copy of kpr, but thats to be understood in this industry...
i like the steering rack, tie rod machined offset...that shows great inginueity in the R&D of this kit for sure......props for that piece of the pie for sure!!
Crap parts i see:
1. the black hex head bolts i hope get replaced........or anyone purchasing this kit should source replacing them...they are black because they are what are called "plain" or "no coating" bolts...........on a vehicle they should be at least zinc coated.........silver or yellow zinc.......
2. the nuts used - blue nylon lock nuts....ya, thats not good...they should at least be "all metal" top lock/prevailing torque lock nuts.
