    I can't take credit, but the owner and designer, Steve, from Hot Rods To Hell has been building these for 15/20 years and has been writen up in countless magazines. His products have been on some really fast cars and when setup right really hooks! He used to be in Burbank, CA and now has a shop in Anderson, CA..........not sure where in NorCal you live but his shop is just south of Redding.(y)

    Here is the website; http://www.hotrodstohell.net/

    Here's a good "how to" article on mini tubbing.

    [​IMG] [​IMG] How To Mini-Tub Your Maverick




    I'm with the others....split mono leaf and caltracs should be good for up to 8 seconds, that's what most of the outlaw street cars down here run in the PSCA.

    But if you have the money 4 link it!

    Nice article. I didn't use the stock tubs in my application, they had too much rust in them to re-use.
