I've got their cage, but several Stock and Super Stock drag racers use their suspension pieces.

I like how the subframe setup integrates the TA mount, but looking at there torque arm it doesn't seem to have the ability to raise or lower the location in the front which would be a big disadvantage.

Contact Madman he makes a nice really nice adjustable torque arm and suspension stuff, part quality is important, so is adjustability, but if you have no one to tell you how to set it up or don't know how yourself it won't do you much good and from what I see he offers great tech support.

You can always try it and if you don't like it you can always spend more money

I have there set up . I have not been to the track yet thought . I ran it on the street then i changed it around alot . First the cross member for the TA it has no hump in it for the exhast pipe and the drive shaft loop won't work with the stock or pacesetters y-pipe . The TA worked good with the stock rear only hit 1 spot on the floor that I had to just beat in a little. When I put 9-inch in it hit bad so I made new crossmember and used a bmr extreme and it has the hump and has a poly mount made it bolt in just like the s&w . Next I made a new TA and rear mount I made the mount so I could move it over 1 inch to the pass side to clear tunnel I also put 2 sets of holes so I still have stock set. I made Ta and have double adjusters on back and adjustable rod end on front . Panhard bar is only ajustable on one side so cut off other side and put left handed rod end on it so now it's alot easier to adjust just spin bar instead of drop one side adjust put back on repeat . If I had to do it again I would have got all BMR . Here is a link to some pics it's all I have now.........https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...653&highlight=
