are lca's what i'm looking for?..
hey guys, i'm trying to think of my next set of mods. i know i'm getting exhaust, and i'm not sure what else but after that i'm on about a $500 budget with this check. i was thinking drag radials, but to be honest i don't want to bust my own hustle. most other guys on drag radials from around here have pretty quick cars and most people that see dr's won't race when they have street tires. my traction isn't too bad.. i'm on 315's and if i half-throttle it to about 3500rpm i don't really spin bad (on the street) and i can get away with it. so i was thinking about investing in some lower control arms and maybe i could grab a little better on the street. do i have the right idea? thanks.

sub frame connectors, rear lca's, and a torque arm if you can swing it.
those were the first things I ever did to my car, it responded well. i could at least use what power i had

All three will help. But if you have the money, get a chassis mounted adjustable TA first. It will definately help you plant the tires. Have you taken off your front sway bar?

oh.. and i was looking at the umi adj. torque arm and the tunnel brace design is the same as the floor pan right? (stupid question i know, but never hurts to double-check when you spend $400 on a part, haha) thanks guys. you're helping me get an idea of my setup. i'm thinking exhaust, lca, torque arm, sub frame, higher stall, and then a trans brake. i guess i should have a nasty sixty-foot for an intake/exhaust car, lol.

check out BMR's site they have the adjustable mount available for torque arm if you can't get a cross bar welded, and it is adjustable like the Madman T.arm is.
not hard to install all of this stuff.
and I apologize, i did the torque arm at the same time as well. hence great sixty foots in a verly lightly modded car at the time.
