Here's a little sneak peak of a new Dropmember design we have been working on.... not quite finalized yet. Little more modern looking than the current tubular version.

Awesome as always... Wish I could afford it...lol, shipping to Hawaii alone would be crazy! One killer product after another!

Wow, Nate that looks awesome. What does it look like with your tubular arms?

**lolife99** · 10-10-2012, 01:56 PM

Very Nice!
What's the "name" for this version?

Awesome!

I will get some pics up of it all assembled eventually. Been hammered in the shop, buttoning up a couple of overdue projects first.

I don't have a very original name for it yet. I was just thinking "Version 4".

Other names like the "cheese grater", "potato slicer" and "fusion" (I was told it looks like a gillette from the bottom side) were offered up.... but those obviously won't make the cut!

broey · 10-10-2012, 07:15 PM

looks beefy. top notch.

Pro Performance · 10-10-2012, 07:58 PM

Sweet

CLTBurban · 10-10-2012, 08:03 PM

Wow! Looks KILLER!!! This type of leading edge ingenuity is exactly why I ordered my front and rear drop member kit from you guys vs. the many other options out there! I can't wait to take delivery so I can finally stop adding to my "running" order (hinges added just today in fact), especially with eye candy like this.

62 Bowtie · 10-11-2012, 12:29 AM

Sick, looks beefy call it "SLAMSON"

No joke! We have shipped a few kits to the islands... last front and rear ran right around $1500 just to get it there!

Thanks for the kind words!

The nice thing is that this design only weighs in at 1lb heavier than the tube version.

jimmydean · 10-11-2012, 11:57 AM

Are you going to do a rear bridge to match? I love the look of the tube version, but that looks incredible.

CLTBurban · 10-11-2012, 02:40 PM

Thanks again for the call today Nate! You guys never cease to amaze me!

what are the advantages over your other version?

INSIDIOUS '86 · 10-15-2012, 01:26 PM

Is this the long awaited performance handling drop member that you've been working on with robs advice?
