Silverhorse racing is where I purchased mine as well.. I wasn't aware however they can be locked.. Anyhow I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind sharing how Marcello came up with a way for locking the lower inserts in place.. Thanks, Rocky

Worked on my wife's Shelby a bit yesterday, replaced the rear FRPP "L" springs with the Steeda adjustable perches and springs that I once used on my car, then adjusted the back of the car up about 3/4" to allow better clearance for the 305's she's got back there. They were occasionally rubbing the fenders over bumps, this looks more consistent front-to-rear and gives those tires some more room, which they need since the 20x10 Alcoas are a 37mm offset and were never meant to run a tire wider than a 285, lol.

Lol, thanks Tony, she hasn't even gotten to drive it yet with the new rear set-up.

Me, on the other hand, I had to put about 10-15 miles on it after the work was done, you know, just to make sure it's all good.
Even to test that the rear springs will stay in place during rear-tire spin

The things I force myself to do for my woman ...

Then you have a bunch of tail lights out, no? Rear lights usually light three on each side and the brake lights two. Looks like you only have one a side that is on and that ain't right either way.

The lights are not out, just rewired to fit the requirements in my country.
