Front Weight Jacks

Are there any good front weight jack setups available out there?

I have been gathering most of what I need to build my own, but a combination of lack of time and county inspectors (the car is in the driveway with no front suspension under it) is creating some pressure to get this done sooner rather than later...

Re: Front Weight Jacks

Founders makes upgraded strut tower caster/camber plates but I'm not aware of any weight jacks. The only weight jacks I remember seeing are,

Ground Control
Detroit Speed
UMI

I was miss spoken on Founders. I went from memory, which is very dangerous.

I've had G.C (Fr/Rr) for over 15 years, no complaints.

My recommendation.
S​​​​​treet car= Ground Control Jacks
competitive road race or AutoX car= DSE jacks.

Re: Front Weight Jacks

I've got a lot of miles of multiple ground control jacks on multiple cars. Donovan has been my point of contact for years and is great to deal with. He's been helping me with my latest 88 as I test out different spring rates. At the moment, nothing really to report, but I mention it as a thumbs up to Donovan, Ground Control and their customer service.
