This has to be the best price I have seen on a CV kit and that's before the $100 off special!
Personally if I were going to upgrade I would want CV style stub axles on both the ZF and outer hub, so that adapters are not required. I know the ZF side CV stub axles are available, anyone make an outer and longer CV shafts to fit?
Julian
Thanks Julian, I am practically giving them away at this price!
Regarding the adapters versus a direct bolt-on. There are many pro's for going with adapters over direct bolt-on.
Adapters Versus Custom 930 ZF flanges and Axles Flanges.
HUGE cost difference (the ZF and axle flanges are VERY expensive)
HUGE installation cost (with adapters you simply unbolt the half shaft and bolt in the new CV axle assembly)
MESSY without adapters (with our enclosed system, they can be greased on the bench and buttoned up. No mess during installation)
The only benefit I can think of to go with no adapters, is the small amount of weight that the adapters add to the assembly.
So to summarize:
Less cost - Easy installation - Less mess
The axles are custom made in the USA specifically for the Pantera. Some other vendors use cut to length axles. There is nothing wrong with cut to length axles (we use to use them as well) however, with our new Pantera specific axles, we also increased the axle diameter for more strength.
Our old setup used high speed boots only as an option. Our new kit uses IndyCar style High Speed boots standard on all four boots. They look great and work even better.
By the way, I had 4 kits available at the discounted price for this week only. 2 kits are already accounted for so I only have 2 left at this ridiculously low price of only $1099.
Who will be the lucky two that get the last two available???
Take care all,
Scott
