    I like them, the give a nod to the factory slots with a touch of Halibrand styling.

    I'd set it to 14°, then back your idle speed off to 800 in Neutral. Will run even better...

    No I’m getting the standard one’s from Auto Krafters the reason on my point of view on the rollers ones they have bearing’s and is a solid hit when the suspension is working going up I prefer the rubber bushings one’s

    Miguel, did you do a Shelby drop? I’ve been super tempted to.

    I bought a set of Scott Drake perches that use urethane bushings but pivot like the roller perches for that same reason.
