Default Suspension guys I need help

Ok got a yank SS4000 stall, UMI lower control arms, with relocation brackets. And a BMR adjustable torque arm set @-2*. The best 60' i got is a 1.649. Really looking to get a 1.55 would be awesome. Next step is subframe connectors will they help me out alot? Either way im going to get them since my car is a t-top.

Hello
Yes going with a set of SFC's would help with weight transfer! You don't necessarily need to get new shocks the whole way around but they would help keep the weight from unloading as fast when it transfers. I would try a set of SFC's and see were you are at then. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad

I don't think subframe connectors will help much. They'll stiffen up the chassis, which is necessary. You need to figure out where your Instant Center is and get your suspension dialed in. A large rear sway bar will keep the car from twisting when launching. BMR, Spohn, and UMI have all your suspension needs and make great products. Fwiw, I don't have subframe connectors on my car. It does have a 6 point rollbar welded in and that stiffens the chassis a lot.

I have thought about a anti roll bar. Subframes first though. I have stock springs on the car with the isolater removed and lower relocation brackets. I have it in the lower hole and the pinion angle set at -2*. do you guys think if i move it to the top hole and reset the angle might help?
