MNR has New uprights?
ffrgtm - 14/6/11 at 06:06 PM

So MNR is telling me that they have new fabricated steel uprights that are lighter than the Raceleada units. Anyone have any pictures or experience with these? Opinions?

Thanks a ton!

I have seen the uprights your talking about and the look awsome as you would expect from
Mnr

Awesome! Thanks guys... Daniel are those r16 calipers the same at the willwood dynalites or did you spec them additionally? Thanks

I was with Marc when we weighed the set ups and they are indeed lighter than the alloy uprights.

Do you happen to remember what they weighed then?

are they going to be strong enough? don't look like there is much to them!

I think the raceledas look a lot nicer!

Steel uprights on a 450-550kg car can be quite minimal, and yes the cnc aluminum ones look nicer but unsprung weight is very critical... function over looks any day!

Are these the same geometry as the cortina uprights?? just wondered if they would fit a Fury......
