Took delivery last night of most of our GTS order, including +4" dedion kit, shocks, brackets, bushes, balljoints and so forth. None of it on the car or photographed yet, but any questions, I can speak with a little more knowledge than "it's supposed to be good" now

Good timing! I tried to place my order yesterday but not been able to get anyone on the phone so emailed Daren instead.

I have slight concern which you can hopefully put to rest. With the axle brackets moved out by 2", is there still going to be plenty of clearance between the trailing arms and the inside wheel rim without having to use wheel spacers?

Good question. I don't know, and we're a way off fitting that stuff together yet. got to repaint the hubs still. I can give you some critical dimensions though and you can work it out from your hubs and wheels.

Actually I'll run down the garage now and check..

*runs*

70mm from the outside of the bracket to the hub carrier mounting flange, and the brackets are 50mm wide. does that help?

Thanks very much for checking, I will check my wheel offsets tonight if possible (flying out to Austria to get married this week, both of us currently in headless chicken mode!).

Darren got back to me and said his own kits have more than 2" clearance so should be no problems!

Right, just checked the bearing carrier and drive flange assembly. It's approximately 76mm between the carrier mounting face and the drive flange face. Add on the 70mm from bracket to bearing carrier face = 146mm.

code:
 

Rim width       Maximum offset(nearest mm) 

6"                        70mm 

7"                        57mm 

8"                        44mm 

Nice work that man

you got me thinking and I had a teeny bit of worry. hurrah, gone.
