Hey everyone, I was just wanting to get various opinions on the following suspension set up:

I will be going to side-exit exhaust in the near future so that shouldn't be a concern, but I haven't heard Evolution Motorsport mentioned too much on these forums, hence my inquiry. Thank you for any and all input provided.

I am using a panhard bar with a torque arm and griggs lower control arms. I have heard good things about the watts link setup.

defconfire,

Thank you for the response. I've also considered doing MM UCAs/LCAs/panhard bar, how does that set upwork for you? As far as the torque arm, is that a problem with a lowered vehicle because if memory serves me correctly doesn't it go under the drive shaft? I've only seen pictures of it so I'm not sure how it works.

I personlly love the setup and it has only broken once[8D] which was my fault. But over all it is great, You will gain a huge amount of grip, even in my case which has crazy stiff race springs and is no weight transfer.

And as for a lowered car I have a 1.5" drop on mine and it scrapes sometimes, But its not often enough for me to worry about it. here is a link to a pic in my driveway, it's a little bit dirty. MM makes good stuff my whole front end is construced form MM parts the only reason I have some griggs stuff in the rear of my car is because at the time MM didnt make those parts at the time.

One other thing that I would seriously reccomend is some full length weld-in subframe connectors.

cool, that looks like it took a pretty hard hit to break like that. I've already got the full length weld-in subrame connectors, they do make a big difference.

I just noticed your rear tires on your sig, are those 345s on 18s"? If so what did you have to do to fit that kinda meat under there?
