Default F-Body ladder bar conversion (93-02)



anybody familiar with this setup? pros/cons personal experiences ect. was looking to eventually do lower control arms and stumbled across these. looks to be a good idea but after some searching on here an other forums i didn't happen to find mention of using let alone knowing about something like this. doesn't bother me that it will be illegal for some racing classes as long as it benefits the traction department on the street and track.


:::EDIT:::
nevermind, after more searching i found the answer i was looking for. thanks anyway.

I actually considered using that to go to a 8.8 Ford rear. I don't know anyone using it but am also interested in how well it works.

My experience has been they don't work well on fast cars at the drag strip and handling on the street is terrible.

With all of the different options available for the torque arm style suspension I do not see a reason to do away with them IMO....

IMO, ladder bars are more prone to an uneven launch at the line. trans and crossmember mounted torque arms seem to give a more even launch
