relocation brackets, LCA's with one side with rod ends, shocks then drag bar.

Thumbs up A few suggestions for you!

Hello
I would suggest getting the Torque Arm off the rear end with a relocation bracket! And then a set of SFC's and then a set of single adjustable lower control arms and a set of lower control arm relocation brackets. And a few suggestions to lighten up the front end would be a K member and a set of A arms. And then to hook up I would look into a set of adjustable shocks and a good set of Drag Radials. Below is a link to show you what we have to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks

Hello
Yes their is a way to lower your vehicle about an inch without losing traction! When lowering a vehicle you levels out your rear lower control arms and the fix for the could be a set of lower control arm relocation brackets. These allow you relocate the lower control arms the are more parallel with the surface and push the rear to the ground were the power belongs and eliminates wheel hop as well. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks

If you are shooting for 5s in the 1/8 mile then an extreme anti-roll bar is your only option. You can lower the car but check your pinion angle and the lower control arm angle.

Here is a picture of our old Camaro setup. The car was at the radial shootout this weekend but only managed some low 6 second passes due to engine issues.


Ill see if I can find a video of the car from this weekend.

Hello, our rear bar is expensive but it does the job very well. There are several different versions of the parts that you need. Give me a call when you can and we can go over all of the different choices. Its easier to discuss over the phone.

Does it require welding a bracket or or is bolted in for the drag bar?

if you are trying to get in the 5's then it wont be cheap. do it right the first time and buy good parts, that way you wont have to spend the money twice.

It requires welding a new supplied housing bracket on the housing and a frame mount mount bracket that's also supplied with the bar.
