Help with Hooking!!!
Can i get some input for ya'll on my best rout to go for traction out of the hole? Im slidding all the way into third and its killing me! I know a good set of tires (pending on street or strip) are critical but suspension wise, whats my best bet?
Part numbers and names would be greatly appreciated. Thank's.

i really like the UPR kit but they dont have the proper A arms to go with it. can you link me to a good site with tube k member that also sells arms with perches. i'm goin for broke on this suspension!
or can you just buy the k member, bump steer kit and bolt up your old A arms?

If you are seriously considering them, let me know and I'll pm you the contact info for the guy I bought it from. I was the only one that took the time to answer all my questions about the products. I guess he really wanted the sale. Plus I had a few other ppl that used these parts recommend the PA Racing stuff.
