mmm i was speakin more of as a "dual role" car. thats the beauty of coilover springs and adjustable shocks. you can adjust the shock, and swap the springs pretty easily. i swapped the springs in the front with my QA1 coilovers in about an hour and a half, most of that time was me not being able to find the right wrench when i needed it lol. i had to swap from 12x300's back to 14x225's because ride quality with the 300's was crap. the 225's are way better bumpy street wise.
oh and OP, do you have any plans on F/I? because if you do, then you'll prolly have the same problem as me, where you have to get the HD arm, which is another 200$ extra. make sure you check MM's table for gear ratio/hp limit.

It will be alright at both but not great. The saying is though, "Jack of all trades, master of none."
Also, I would recommend the HD torque arm for most people. Even on a stock powered 4V with 4.10's you would need the HD.

has anyone on here ever tried maximum motorsport's rear torque arm and panhard suspension setup? im thinking about getting it in the future and would like to know how well it actually works. it will probably be cheaper for me to get a cobra irs off craigslist for cheaper though. after a cost benefit analysis, what is the suggested route to take?
but if you do the cobra irs, still think about maximums kit for the irs..they retail for around 900plus, but well worth the money
