Default 12-bolt w/ stock supporting suspension

i just put in my 12 bolt (M6 car) and right now i am running the stock supporting suspension (PHB, LCA, TA, sway bars, etc) will this be a problem with the new rear? i definitly plan on getting all that stuff, but the rear cleaned my clock moneywise. will i break things? thanks

The rear should not strain things anymore than the stock rear. Keep an eye on the stock torque arm though, I have seen them break about 6 inches ahead of the rear. Bob

We busted our LCA's with the 10 bolt in. I wud imagine a sturdier 12 bolt would cause the LCA's to go even faster. (Given you beat the car as hard as we did)

thanks for the info guys....i dont plan to have this stuff in here for too long. I would like to run at the track and see how times, 60's, etc change while i put this stuff in. U think some MT ET streets would destroy the TA or LCAs or anything else at the track?

I wouldn't run with the stock TA too long. The angle is wrong because the 12 bolt is a bigger housing. Definitely dont launch hard with it cause you will break it. When I got my 12 bolt, before my TA i bent the stock 1 with just drivin on the street.
