8.8 Rear End Build - control arm and coilover relocation

I show how I built and braced my 8.8 rear end for my sn95 race car. I used the tin soldiers coilover and control arm relocation brackets and 9 inch ends. Here you will see me tig weld the brackets on.

DO you still have a link to that diagram?
You did nice work and its definitely thought through

[@TheBigOleDad]

Did you use the 309 rod to weld tubes to the housing? I ordered 309 to weld front brace kit on and dont want to spend the extra on nickle if the 309 will holt the tubes to center as well.
Also what control arms did you use? Im hoping any spherical adjustable will work

[@edwardgallegos9515]

What size of tube you use

[@mchristr]

Shouldn't the adjustment holes be in an arc (rather than in line) as the control arm end will move in an arc?

[@drewjackson4056]

The trz kit is like this. Which I really prefer because ones like mine requires you to adjust lower control arm length to keep correct pinion angle

[@scottadkins918]

awesome stuff. whats the song in this?

[@matthewstephen2988]

Maybe I missed it, but were the LCA brackets and coilover brackets set to ZERO with the diff housing, or were they offset and if so, by how many degrees? Excellent job btw.

[@drewjackson4056]

These was set at zero but some companies recommend setting at a certain amount of degrees back. It'll tell you with whatever one's you go with
