Announced in October and designed to accommodate the tough demands of off-road applications, AMSOIL Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease provides performance benefits specific to this market. Combining an over-based calcium-sulfonate complex thickener and polymeric technology, it provides maximum wear protection to meet Caterpillar's requirements for pin and bushing applications. The tough new grease resists pound-out and extends service intervals with superior protection resulting in reduced lubricant, labor and equipment replacement costs.

| Roll Centre Kit |
Whiteline Automotive (Booth #20457) will introduce two new products at the 2009 SEMA Show.
Mustang KCA306
Part #: KCA306
Description: Roll Centre Kit
Application: Ford Mustang 2005 - 2010.
Retail Price: $297.23
Mustang KCA306 Product Information
Whiteline diagnosed 2005 on Mustang with a basic Macpherson strut front suspension that has poor roll centre control and excessive bump steer. With Mustang at standard ride height, front roll centre height is just over 2” above ground. With a mild lowering of only ¾” front roll centre migrates below ground level! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Basically it means you need a Whiteline Roll Centre Kit or “ROCK”! Mustang’s front roll geometry actually encourages roll the lower you go.
A Whiteline “ROCK” is designed to raise the front roll centre geometry by using specially engineered ball-joints and tie rod ends while still maintaining original steering geometry.
Tests on Mustang showed that raising the front roll centre resulted in a substantial increase to front roll resistance and a significant reduction in suspension compression of the outside front wheel during cornering – equals less roll. The kit also covers bump steer correction with specially engineered tie rod ends. Bump steer is the toe-in or toe-out of the front wheels as the suspension goes from normal ride height through full bump (suspension system moves up) to full droop (suspension system moves down).
 | |
| Rear Crossmember Inserts |
Camaro W93194
Part #: W93194
Description: Rear Crossmember Inserts
Application: Chevrolet Camaro 2010
Retail Price: $161.00
Camaro W93194 Product Information
Whiteline’s Camaro rear crossmember inserts fit into the original crossmember mounts to re-tune them for significantly improved responsiveness without harshness. They reduce chassis movement & axle tramp. The installation can be done in-car without removing the whole rear crossmember.
For those pushing serious horsepower, we also have complete high performance, low compliance, replacement crossmember mounts available.

| High-tech Oil Filters |
Royal Purple will introduce its new high-tech oil filters at the 2009 SEMA Show. Commercial fleets use advanced micro-glass oil filters to extend the life of heavy-duty trucks and equipment.
The high-tech oil filters use special synthetic glass microfibers about 10 times smaller than conventional cellulose filter fibers to provide superior filtration. High-performance lubricant manufacturer Royal Purple is now bringing this technology to the consumer market.
Royal Purple’s new high-performance oil filters combine advanced micro-glass technology and high capacity with optimized flow characteristics for maximum performance and filter life.
Each filter features 100% synthetic micro-glass media for superior particle removal with 99% filtration efficiency; a high-performance silicone anti-drain back valve that prevents dry starts even in extreme conditions; a heavy gauge steel back-plate for maximum burst strength; an extra heavy-duty nitrile-rubber base gasket with special lubricity compounds to reduce torque during installation and ensure a leak-free seal; and ultra-strength filter housing that provides extra protection against puncture from road debris.
Royal
Purple oil filters allow change intervals to be extended up to 12,000
miles. Vehicles still under warranty should follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommended filter change intervals.
While
Royal Purple filters are fully compatible with all synthetic and
conventional oils, Royal Purple recommends using its high-performance
motor oil, which also has a 12,000-mile life. For more information, visit www.royalpurple.com.

Wilwood Engineering (booth #25133) will introduce its front and rear D8-4 calipers, D52 calipers and new line of ProSpindles at the 2009 SEMA Show.
 | |
D8-4 Calipers
Wilwood’s
front and rear D8-4 calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for OE
calipers on ’65-’82 Corvettes. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless
steel pistons and competition style high-temperature seals put an end
to the rust, bore pitting and seal failures that plague the original
caliper design. D8-4 calipers mount in the original location over stock
rotors, use the same style OE D8 brake pads and OE master cylinder.
Save weight and gain reliability with the D8-4.
Note: Fits C2
and C3 factory steel wheels and C3 factory optional aluminum wheels.
Does not fit Kellsey Hayes or replica knock-off wheels.
 | |
D52 Calipers
Wilwood’s new
D52 calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for all ’68 and later GM
musclecars, passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks originally
equipped with the big, single piston D52 pad calipers. The calipers are
built to mount in the stock location, with stock dimension rotors,
using regular OE type or aftermarket compound replacement pads and
fitment anywhere the OE calipers were used.
The new D52
calipers provide a lightweight, high-strength, extreme-duty alternative
for customized street machines and all competition vehicles that still
require OE mounting. The forged billet aluminum bodies provide a
substantial weight savings, without rust or corrosion, over the
original cast iron calipers.
Stainless steel pistons with high
temperature bore seals minimize heat transfer and provide maximum
durability in the most extreme circumstances. A smaller bore rear model
is available to help maintain proper front to rear bias on vehicles
that have been converted to four wheel discs. Optional color finishes
are available to compliment wheel, tire, and rotor upgrades on all
types of customized machines.

ProSpindles
Wilwood’s
ProSpindles are designed for custom suspensions configured around
Pinto/Mustang ll geometry. The standard height version is used for
applications where you wish to maintain the stock ride height. The
2-inch drop version is utilized when you want to effectively lower the
ride height without disturbing the suspension geometry. The one-piece
forged steel body is lightweight, yet nearly three times stronger than
OE or aftermarket two-piece cast and steel replacement spindles.
Bolt-on
steering arms are strong and allow the same spindle to be used on
either side of a vehicle. The steering arms may also be inverted to
help make corrections for bump steer based on the steering linkage
location. Additionally, the spindle is one half-inch taller than OE
spindles which effectively raises the front roll center geometry for
improved handling characteristics. Integral mounting bosses on the
spindle body provide the strongest possible attachment point for
caliper brackets. ProSpindles use common Pinto and Mustang ll tie rod
ends, ball joints, wheel bearings and seals.
