No, the only other suspension I have is relocation brackets & lower control arms that I'm putting on probably monday or when I get time.

yea, i have LCAs and brackets. my spohn ATA not only looks good but its a very nice part and a panhard rod wasnt expensive so i added that. my end links were shot so those were replaced too.

with my MTs it should plant nicely.

Yea maybe in time I'll add those but for now im gonna see how it is with just these.

Wheelhop will do it. This rear girdle brace setup looks flimsy & not very effective. Time will tell.
That makes more sense.

It's actually been done before with good success. It helps keep the axle tubes from walking forward under traction and pulling the ring gear away from the pinion, which is one of the common failures in the 10 bolt. This guy was putting about 500whp to the ground in a 3rd gen and did basically the same setup, although his build was more involved with Moser axles and a few other tricks. To my knowledge, it is still going strong and he abuses it at the track with 4K clutch dumps on drag radials. http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/tr...f-10-bolt.html I posted this link earlier in the thread but you may not have seen it.

It def isn't flimsy, not to mention LPW makes some of the best girdles around to begin with, they are known for that. One of the biggest failures in our cars is the spider gears, but that is because of the axle tubes flexing as said above. Welding tubes &/or putting a brace on the tubes to keep them solid and not flexing under hard acceleration would be a good way to spare those spider gears.

He stated in another thread that the rear was clunking and popping badly before it completely grenaded the diff.

where can I get one of these set up at

fccs

iTrader: (26)

True, but I haven't been to the track since last year which would still mean it started the clunky noise from street tires on the street at some point lol.

Google lpwracing, first result. The ultimate cover has holes for the brace tube kit also.

Thanks

I would just post the link, but since they aren't a sponsor I don't think I should. But yea, just google lpw racing and you will find the site.

I've been waiting to see results from this myself, but I'm M6.

Hell, maybe I'm just trying to justify putting off the inevitable.....

So is the OP.

fccs

iTrader: (26)

I've been beating on it for a bit now but I won't know for sure how it's doing till I throw some drag radials on and use it the rest of the summer. Reason why I'm doing this is because I have a bottle here waiting to go on with a 150shot as well sooo I kinda want some extra backup on the rear even though I won't be spraying in first.

dr_whigham

iTrader: (49)

I know.

I'm just saying, it's nice to see someone go ahead with an idea and give it a try. I've been on the fence about this for a while now, but there isn't much info out there on an F-Body.

Kudos to you, OP.

Macs98Z

iTrader: (16)

Gotcha. Yeah, I have been wondering about this idea as well, especially after my M6 swap. I just really don't want to shell out 2K+ for a new or used 9 inch or S60.

We appreciate the initiative fccs. Go beat on it with some drag radials and let us know how it holds up!

Not to take anything away from the OP, but this isn't new by any means as dozens of guys have documented their success with this setup, NEARLY 15 YEARS AGO If you're looking only at the late model LS1 stuff, remember the 3rd gen cars were around long before them, share many designs, and usually accomplished it LONG ago.

^^ VERY true statement, and damn my short-sighted thinking!
