after reading all the arguements i most likely will go full adjustable. ill prbalby start with the torque arm first tho because i wont have the cash to buy the control arms and the torque arms at the same time. and ill be going BMR they havent failed me nor my dad with any product ive bought. as for english town its not to far from me. afew of my friends go all the time but i havent been down there yet. next spring or whenever a group of my friends are going ill definitely be taking a ride down. where in NY are you ?

and thanks agian for everyone that brings there heads to the table. everyones opinion and set up really does help me figure it out.

I have all non-adj because at the time I didn't want to fork out anymore money but I wouldn't mind having the adjustablity now but I really don't need it. The car cut 1.6's all day long consistently and launched 100% straight everytime before the added motor work so I can't complain, the non-adj works awesome for me. Its really doesn't seem worth the extra $$ unless the car is an 11sec car or faster car but if money isn't tight I would spring for the adjustability, that way you know you have the best just make sure you know how to adjust it properly or atleast know someone who does.

Thanks for the kind words. I am in no way an expert on these cars, but I love working on them. I only try to reply to threads in which I have had some real world experience. Mostly you will see me trying to talk people out of buying parts that they just don't need. These cars are expensive to build.

Picking up another one tonight!

Take Care,

Daren

I have all non ajustable on my last 3 formulas and have always been happy. You do know the rod end adjustables can become pretty load over time.
