That thing scares me. I hope all of you have sense enough not to go that route when doin suspension work. He used Sch 80 pipe. Pipe is for your toilet.

I agree that you probably wouldn't want to go hackin a perfectly good CC up to do it, but if I had an extra CC lying around that maybe had severe front end damage I'd do it.

The big issue I have with the stretch is the turning radius just sucks! There ain't a parking spot big enuff, or a street wide enuff to angle park, and then there's all the a-holes who just have to give their opinion of how they would have done it and made it soooo much better...
Sound kinda bitter, don't I? Thank some of those fine residents of Lawrence, KS for that...
