On a car cv your maxing out out around 12 degrees and 17 degrees on the bus. If you can swing the cash I'd buy a set of stubs to run bus cvs on the outer. Chad :mrgreen:

its easy to drill the stubs out. First you have to cut the little lip off and then you take the bus cv and center the bolt holes in between the car bolt holes and clamp it down. Then you take a spoting punch the size of the bolt hole in the cv and spot each of the holes. Then you drill them for your tapped hole, what I do is clamp the cv back on and us the cv as a guide to make sure the tap is straight. when I get one hole taped i put a bolt in it and tighten it down. Then I tap the next hole, when im done i put a bolt in the second hole and tighten it down and then tap the rest of the holes.
