Articulating Weight Jacks?

What is the added benefit to the "articulating" upgrade option with Ground Control weight jacks? Assuming it's the ball/cup mount like Detroit has?

Is it something that is worth the extra cash for what is realistically a car that will be 100% street and highway driven the remainder of it's/my life?

Interesting. I've run GC weight jacks on two cars and wasn't aware of that option. I always worked with Devon over there and he's great to deal with. I'm sure he can help you out.

Roger. I will reach out and see what he/they have to say.

I thought it was interesting myself. I could have sworn that when I was looking into it in the spring it was not an option.

This new rear design?

A month ago they showed a generic picture, but now it's the actual product, very different than the generic picture, so it probably wasn't on the site last spring.

Yeah, that definitely was NOT an option on the two sets I've run in the past. Interesting. Never had an issue with mine, and didn't research enough into the actual real world angles, etc. etc. to really have an educated opinion I guess.
