Hey there .... new on this forum.

I'm about to install Eibach Drag kit and HPM MegabiteJR rear lower control arms in my 82 GT T-Top 5.0 .

I was wondering how the car will look after they're installed. I have heard that the HPM's lower the rear just a touch due to the geometry of there lower control arms and with that in mind (if thats even true) what the car will sit like with the Drag Springs ..... ( was told to keep a nice stance the front springs should be cut downbetween 1/2-1 coil ???
?????????

Thanks in advance
Jeff

Do you have any pictures of the megabyte Jrs installed? I have an 88 LX Coupe that I have installed mine but they are not right. I have an old school look with a jacked up rear end. I had these on another an 88 GT about 5 years ago, but I have installed these wrong and I am not sure how? I thought some pics of a correct install would help me figure it out. Thank you for your time!

Do you still have the quad shock in? After I installed mega bit jr upper and lowers and new springs I took out the quad shock. I was told on here and by others that the quad shock will not let the rear end move properly when launching. Though my car still has a slight lean to the right and cant figure out how to fix it.

I have removed the quad shock. So I am not sure what the deal is. Do I have them on backwards? I feel like I have tested them on either side? Thoughts?

looks like you got them installed wrong. on mine, the bracket goes forwards/downwards at about a 45* angle. yours seem to go straight out and a little up

Can you remove and flip that last bracket on the rear of the control arm?

By chance, could you email or post a picture of what yours look like installed? I have searched all over the internet for such a pic but cannot find a thing. If you can, my email address is watjensgt@yahoo.com.

Thanks a bunch!
