well do you drag race more or like to take the turns more? if so... there is your answer on which one would be good to go.. maybe even like a 12" with a 350lb spring would be good.. that thing will be real tight in the turns....

reason i ask is im going to be getting a UPR k member kit and im getting 2 different spring rates.. some 14" 175's for the track.. and im not sure on the street handling ones yet...

i would say the panhard bars are a great investment also for handling, but i cant vouch for that as mine is sitting in the garage right by the motor.. but its lookin pretty good...
quit waisting time posting and get to installing^^ I'll let you guys know what my suspension setup looks like soon, just waiting till wednseday till the rest of my parts come in.
its too late to work on the car now.. neighbors would complain about my air compressor and impact turning on.. lol.. its only past 1 am.. hah... im at a stoping point cuz i needa k member to finish it... and for the panhard bar.. im afraid of messing up the install... and lining it all up, etc... i almost want to get it done professionally for that reason..
I'm feeling the same, I am staring at my mm torque arm and panhard bar, wondering how the hell imma do this myself.. lmao=P but 8-10 hrs at a shop will kill my account, and then some


mach1 brake kit

which torque arm did you opt for?? im thinking of getting one also eventually.. i just couldnt pass up the deal on the panhard bar.. its barely used and its the MM adjustable one for 200... not bad since i got like over 100 off.. hah

That is a damn good deal, wish I had that=/ I ended up buying the torque arm kit from MM with the extreme duty LCA's, heavy duty torque arm, and phb. all non adjustable. Your planning on 700 rwhp/rwtq, if so then you'd be looking at a heavy duty torque arm, also you may wanna ask mm about any extra bracing you can run. The standard duty TA can't hold 500/500 rwhp/rwtq on stock gearing that well, so I went with the heavy duty ones.

Depends on what you want...

If I had $3000 that had to be spent on my car, i'd just save another 1000 and buy a mongoose kit

If your gonna spend that much on handling, save up another 1k then talk to apexmotorsports.com, tell them wai wai told you to talk to them and they'll be able to hook you up with a mm max grip box for a damn good price. They're charging me some great prices on my mods.

Hah, thats funny, mine is too

For that kind of cash Id go with a maximum motorsports k member package, best of the best. And as stated you can do most of that yourself.
