Long as you don't try to break it, they hold alright. Just don't do any 5k launches or a ton of gorilla shifting down low. Good thing about them is that they're dirt cheap, so even if you did bust it, there's one on every corner for $2-300 bucks.

It sucks, you set a tool down for a couple seconds and come back and it burns the **** outta your hand. Srsly though 10bolts are a cakes. 2 Torque Arm bolts, 2 Shock bolts, 2 Sway bar end links, unplug harness and brake lines and out she goes. Transfer what's needed to new rear and get her in. 2hr job first time by yourself.

Side note.....I did watch them push a 13 or 14sec fox body off the track Fri with a busted rear.
Stoppy I can see why your not impressed with ls cars. Went to the track Fri. night to watch and holy fukin slow ls cars. These guys were struggling to get to 13's. WTF!!!??? These cars are easy- 1: touch 12's in decent air with free/minor mods- 2:If you can't go 12's with headers added then keep practicing.....it's you.- 3: Full bolt-ons should get you to the bottom side of 12's. Keep in mind still all that w/o a dr on the car.- 4: A little weight reduction and a dr you have a solid 11 sec car. It really is that easy.
There was a couple mild vette's ,maybe even stock that went 12's.
My friend with a supercharged Mach went a new best @ 12.3.....drag wheels and all.
