GA Bulks or FLM bulks
 

I have a general question for everyone......I'm tring to decide on either getting GA bulks or FLM bulks....they are almost the same ...price wise....but I was wondering if any one had any expereince with either one?..
thanks

i would go for the flm and maybe the hybrids.

Ga's for ultimate strength (read overkill in strength) FLM's for weightsaving.

I sold my GA7075's to get a set of the FLM's (weightissue)

FLM makes the GA bulks, in case you didn't knew..

what do you mean by this...I quite don't understand........please explain....

As simple as that.

FLM makes/produces the GA bulks.

Nothing more, nothing less, i noticed this when i put them next to eachother.

so knowing this....who makes the center brace for GA.......Everyone here knows about my front Ue arm...that I bent.....well I think where my hinge pins go thru on one of my bulks has some slop in the holes now.....so when I order new front arms from UE...I figured I might as well replace the bulks as well....since it's all apart anyways......

I agree with Serum, GA bulks are absolute overkill. I reckon your best off just biting the bullet, and getting the FLM bulkless

but my only concern is....will my UE 8 spyders fit into the bulks....and what am I going to do with the cases?....

yes, the 8 spyders will fit and well the cases will go for about 60 bucks on ebay. i would get the bulkless and sell the cases. then you would only have about 90 in the bulkless.

are we talking about these

Fastlane Front and Rear Hybrid Bulks for $150.00

or these

Front and Rear Combo Bulks for $120.00

Hybrid (150$)

sorry to confuse you. seems as though im usually the confused one :confused:

no problem squee......I understand.....boy is this one going to be fun...tring to eplain to the wife why......I need the hybrid bulks....she's alright with the arms...but he bulks......I don't know...... those might have to wait till fall semester $.....I think i can wait that long....

if money is issue get the regular bulks. I would go flm for sure. If you mess them up send them back to get them replaced.

I might just get the bulks...beacause the 8 spyders plus diff cases are a little over 6 months old...with only a few runs on them...due to winter....

Don't worry about your diffs then.

just get the bulks. i like that combination of the UE diffs and the FLM bulks. I have them both, the FLM bulkless with 8 spiders and the normal FLM bulks with the ue8 spiders, but i like the tweaking options of the UE diffcups better.

The picture you see of the FLM bulks are of the old type. the new type is made much lighter. (it looks about the same as the bulkless type)

Remember, that you need to buy a set of braces too with the bulks.

thanks for the help

Why can't I just use the stock braces with my reg. FLM bulks?

My vote is for the FLM

I realize this is an old thread but nonetheless... ^^ serum?

Wow, this defenitely is an old thread; 2006!!

No need to use braces with the bulkless, i guess i didn't read close enough that it was about the bulkless FLM..

an aluminum brace adds some strength though, but the stock braces are too flexible, you can use them, but it's pure for decoration, it's not adding any strength;

the stock plastic ones will be too elastic, if the 12.9 screw has snapped that holds the bulks together at the diffcase, the stock brace will still be there.. it won't prevent the screw from snapping on an impact. (if it snaps at all) these bulkless FLM things are tough as nails. If you are planning on building an ultimate basher, and you want a durable setup, use aluminium braces.. (doesn't have to be FLM, they use the same bolt pattern as the stockers)

Okay thanx man
