Pretty cool. I got the Global West ones a while back, but they only raise up by 3/4" and don't move anything inboard. But I will say they definitely do reduce squat significantly, so I'd imagine at 7/8" on yours, probably would even do a little better.

$199... that's a pretty good deal too...

ULTM8TZ, I brought this up on the TAC forum as well. These new PTFB pieces also look much more sturdy compared to the Global West mounts.

Agreed, these look very well constructed. but I will say the GW are pretty stout too... though if these were out at the time I bought my GW ones, I probably would have gotten these.

Thanks, I have much respect for Global west, we designed our 3-4 years ago, for me and what I had envisioned was a tall order to cut out all 5 pieces that make up one bracket without having direct access to a cnc cutting table. Hiring a shop just to cut one prototype part at a time would have been cost prohibitive and that is if a shop would even entertain the idea of doing it.
So the project sat as a "future" iron in the fire, but since moving the shop to TN I have a good partner across the parking lot with a plasma table, Brian Alan Fabrication, in Dickson TN, his a drag racer that has helped me finish some long over due new product.

Top hole is 7/8" raised from stock and also moved inboard 1/4"
The rear of the car will be lowered by 1/2" when the spring is mounted in the upper hole.
