Glad I could help. I wouldn't rush the install, do it when you have time this way you can insure all the bolts are tightened correctly.

If you need any help give the guys here a call.

Thanks!

The Trak Pak is also a good choice for a street/strip car the only draw back being it does (like all short torque arm setups) loose some ground clearance on the car when compared to the full length/relocation mount type setup.

I do have tons of street/strip cars that run the Trak Pak and are perfectly happy with both on and off track performance. The one thing to do is to make sure you realize both the benefits and disadvantages of both type arms before making a purchase so you can make a well educated purchase.

Any other questions feel free to ask

I have a convertible as well and besides daily drive, I do drag race it as well. I have all BMR stuff...damn near everything they make. 55k miles later and it is all still like new and has helped me turn my 3900 pound sled into a decent track car as well. I drive on stock springs and Koni DA shocks but the BMR stuff has got me to hooking really well since you have the adjustments on the torque arm (instant center adjustment) adjustable lower control arms to fit slicks and lower control arm brackets. Here are some vidz
