Default suspension set up

Ok i'm running a tight converter (protorque 3k), umi relocation brackets, bmr lca, and a prokit. Best 60' on motor is 1.8, and on a 100 shot 1.54. Car doesnt spin on motor its just all I can get on the tight converter. Anyways been debating a midwestern chasis tq arm to get the stock arm off the tranny since i might have cracked the tail housing. Is it really worth it or should I add a bag and swap out back shocks almost looks like it squats to much. What do you think? Here is a video of a 1.57 60' on my car it leaves very soft

personally i would go with a burkhart or madman setup if our thinking switching torque arms. alsoif you switch shocks i would switch to afcos and probablly just go ahead and do them all the way around. its a lot of money but its well worth it.

I've seen the midwest piece in person and it looks great and for the price you cant beat it. I also know it works with the true duals I have on my car that is why I'm leaning towards that one. Question is is a tq arm really worth it if the car isnt spinning, but at the same time is no where near dialed in

A good chassis mounted adj. TA will help, no doubt. Why not start with that and an airbag in the right rear? I'm sure your going to see a difference and then on to a higher stall converter.

Our torque arms will work just fine for you... if you need help choosing one please let me know. The Madman is a nice set-up as well but you will find ours to be streetable as well.. so if your vehicle is still going to see some street use you may want to consider one of our set-ups.

Give us a call or post up.. I will be glad to help. Thanks!

yea i think i'm going tq arm and bag, then roll bar, then coilovers up front and diff shocks out back...possibely a stiffer spring if need be. I'm holding off on the converter until the tranny goes
