what does the extra roller bearing with the free rotation accomplish? i just might return the street version i just bought.

They are for racing. The advantage is to remove the bind from spring to shock. You won't see $100 of improvement on the street.

We don't run them on our street cars.

The double rollers are $6 cheaper ($299pr). Damn, $305 for a bronze perch :wtf

so the difference between your street version and Cobra Auto's roller perch is the bronze bushing??

 

[Opentracker]

That's it. They use a bronze bushing that needs greasing and we use sealed roller bearings that don't need any maintentance. They make a fine perch, I don't mean to bash CA at all. They make high quality parts and their cars haul the mail.

Hey Mark, I'm I getting on your good side?

Needs a black hood :burn

 

[Midlife]

And what is the difference between this and a single roller spring perch?

Did ya read this and look at the picture of them :rofl?????

 

[Opentracker]

They let the spring and shock pivot on thier own. Takes away the bind from spring to shock. Here is a photo of the two kinds we make. The one on the right is the type Mark has. The other is a hell of a lot harder to make and are only for family at this point.

Oh yeah, your on my good side, although I think a black stripe would be better....I'm diggin the new color!

 

[Opentracker]

The cops dig it too. You do get noticed on the street.

It does make the car easy to find in the parking lot :yikes

Yeah, who wants to park next to a yeller car?

 

[Opentracker]

You might be surpised.

I park the car way out in the lot so no one will hit it. A lot of times I come out of the store to find another old Ford sitting next to it. A little parking lot car show.
