Yes, they offer suspension kits for front and rear. Real nice kits by the way!

This is a Mendeola rear on a tube frame car


Another look



Without wheel



These arms are 2 inches longer to bring some weight forward and 2 inches wider to take the large wheels that take the higher horsepower...

not these

Hi, sorry but not these, they were almost upper and lower control arms. They replaced the complete back end, served me right for not bookmarking it

The only other ones I know of are for off road use. Mendeola is the only rear trailing arm kit I know if. Red 9 has a front double wish bone set up also, however I like the Mendeola much better.

mendeola

Thanks, I guess it was not on the G.L.site. This setup was a complete assembly, that is bolted and welded on, I believe the torsion tube would need removing, or the set-up would weld to it; it was not just the trailing arms.
Thanks
