I'm having some suspension work done as soon as it gets a little warmer out. I already have DMS springs, Hotchkis weld in SFC, and BMR relocation brackets. I'm going to order a Hotchkis adjustable panhard rod tomorrow. My question is will I need LCA's in the future? My car is for street use only. If I don't need them then I will have a head start on the engin compartment mods. My car has only 4K miles on it so I'm going to use the stock shocks a another year or two. Thanks for any help.

Also.. Does anyone have the polished STB from Hotchkis? Wondering how well the finish holds up. I think that they look sharp.

You'll want them to help reduce the wheel hop that will occur when you get more power (if not already now).

might as well do them mate. Once you get tires that stick, you will see the big bad wheelhop monster that likes to destroy rear-ends/trannies/etc.

You gonna drag race right? I'll assume you plan to use sticky tires this is when the burnouts stop and the wheelhop rears its ugly head. I used the BMR boxed, they looked fine for me. I think a torque arm might be a good idea, one that doesn't connect to the tailshaft, if you are dead serious on drag racing and not wanting to wheelhop.

wheelhop is all it takes to ruin your drag racing experience,not alot of it.

i would go with lca's........my 92 wheelhopped bad til i changed mine out........i would also change the torque arm also.....if your runing frame connectors why not change the torque arm.....thats a main component in traction also

yah find a torque arm that doesn't connect to the tailshaft housing too those things are expensive and a pita when they break

spohn makes one with a trans cross member mount for my 92.......not sure about 4th gen though.......i will find out how mine works when it comes in..........

Dude, lose all the periods.........

Spohn does make a crossmember mount for the 4th gens as well. It also includes a drive shaft loop. The only thing negative about it is some people complain that it hangs too low. I say you can't go wrong with it.

have any of you heard of fbody motorsports?if so have any of you ordered parts from them?and how long does it take to get them?i'm just courious,because thats where i got my spohn torque arm/trans crossmember kit from.i hope it doesn't take too long.i'm ready to take some friends for a fun ride

LCA's should be one of the first susp. mod IMO. BMR non adjustable with grease nipples are cheap and work real good. They work well with my ET's.

Definitely get them, I did em' same time as SFC's for no extra install charge and they help a lot.

OK, I am going to order some of these today. Which kind is more popular, boxed or tubeular. I am going with BMR, poly/rubber ends.
