Several are. Jet, Pro, B&B, the Edge before Most bought them, Bullett, several others will on special order.

A little heavier but a lot tougher than a Chevell or small Metric. Lower a-frames about half the cost of Chevelle. Impala spindles are tough and tall, also the same as second generation Camaro that all the old late models used. Very little bump correction spacers needed. Same steering box as other GM stubs. Small Metric idler arm so those are cheap. They use 5.5" diameter springs and the spring rate is usually a litle heavier than a Chevelle stub by 25 to 50#. A lot of room around the shocks on our Jets. I really like them better than any of the Chevelle stub cars we had. Steering is just a touch slower but it's not a very big difference.

We're selling 2 due to retirement.

If I was staying in racing, I would continue to run the Imapala stub over anything else.

Any questions on them, feel free to contact me.
