That looks well dodgy 

[Jack3559]

Yeah... It's sounding dodgier and dodgier the more I read into it.

All I'm waiting for is a "not safe for road use."

There are much easier... and safer ways to get 'stance'

Shut up with the "unsafe" sh!t will you, do you really think after all the money James has spent on the car, that he would run something sh!t!

All hes trying to do is sort out an age old issue of the wheel not being central in the arch when uber low..

As for the comments of  "if you want a car to handle".. maybe hes not after some 6k screamer that is thrown all over the shop, maybe hes after an uber low, stancetastic car.. and judging by the air-ride and raised turrets hes running, i'm pretty sure thats the look hes heading for...

Sorry but still a daft idea, end of.  safety 1st when it comes to something as important as this.

Please tell me how this is unsafe in your expert opinion

So you would be happy to bolt your stub axle to a piece of 10mm plate with all the stresses and loads that they take.

Madness, for a show car maybe they will be ok but I would never use them on the road or even for show use myself.

It's unsafe because you are removing the strength of a massive rear beam and transferring it onto 2 x 10mm thick plates and 4 x bolts with significant leverage forces they were never designed to see.

People brace the standard rear beam because it flexes...so if that flexes, what hope has a 10mm plate and 4 bolts got of keeping a fairly fundamental piece of the chassis design in a straight line?

Well said.
