yeah they do, i was also looking at a griggs racing one, that looks to be a nice one as well. dose anyone know about company called global west. they have some really nice control arms i was looking at. now i was also looking and everything im reading says to use energy suspension poly bushings, they are 88 durometer and that is supposed to be the best, anything harder will give you a bushing induced roll stiffness and that will make for a very loose rear end.

the k-member is vital....as a road racer car needs an engine set back which can only be done with an aftermarket k-member and with about 75 off the front will help the plow these car as famous for.....believe it or not UPR products are decent for the money....
