Thinking about suspension setup that would be best for drag racing.
I've heard alot about LCAs and UCAs. Which ones are the best?? And are these something that me and my buddies can install in the driveway with borrowed air tools?

Also, about subframe connectors, they just weld on right? Are there and suspension bundle packs that I can buy that include all of the above mentioned?

http://www.maximummotorsports.com/ and http://www.steeda.com/ have kits. As to which is the best your going to get a lot of different answers based on what they use. Mega Bite Junior's are an excellant LCA. UPR also makes great stuff. The control arms you should be able to handle in a driveway. The subframe connectors. You better have a shop do them if you want them right, and I dont suggest just having joe down at the exhaust shop doing them either. They have to be welded in the right spots, and the shops around here do a lot of prep work and also paint them afterward. Basically for a drag suspension, your best bet would be something along these lines...

Uppers
Lowers
Springs
Shocks
Struts
Subframe Connectors

Maximum motorsports and steeda are the two highest priced companys out there. You can get the same quality products that do the exact same thing from other companys for alot less.

I had UPR control arms on my Cobra, and they were great quality, but the uppers were like 1/2 inch shorter than the stockers, and it wrecked my pinion angle. Maybe I was sent the wrong set, but when I compared them to the length of my buddy's UPRs they were different. Despite my problems, I'd still recommend the UPRs

roush LCA's are an EXCELLENT alternative to the more expensive maximum motorsport or steeda units. there are great quality and can be found on ebay for $99. i will be getting a set of UPR uca's this spring

Make sure you check the length from bolt hole to bolt hole... Mine were WAY too short..

Less money, yes, same quality, no way. I've discussed this on other threads....but you will get what you pay for.

Cheap stuff = cheap mild steel = cheap price

Steeda = Chrome moly alloy steel = 2x stronger than any mild steel product out there.

You can heat treat mild steel to make it stronger than chrome moly, but then it costs more than chrome moly. Here in our showroom we keep a copy of a competitors "cheap" arm next to one of ours for people to see. When you can actually see the difference side by side you realize you really are getting what you are paying for.
