Default Ordered G-Force Ladder Bar Conversion kit. Any one have experience with it?

I ordered the 4 link conversion kit today. Just wondering if anyone is running this kit or this style and your thoughts on it. The car is not a drag car but will ocassionally see the strip. I have full umi suspension in the rear including: adj. tunnel mount tq arm, adj. control arms, adj panhard. This kit replaces the control arms and tq arm. I had a previous thread having problems with the suspension and getting it adjusted right and no one could help me. UMI's tech support had 0 ideas for me so I am fed up with it and am just pulling it all off and using this kit. Hopefully this works better. Let me have your opinions. Thanks

what kind of research have you done on ladder bars prior to your purchase. i really don't know anything about ladder bars but i would certainly have asked this question before i spent the money. fwiw i hope it fixes your problem

Finally getting close to getting this installed. Had it for awhile and have been debating, but I think I'm gonna go for it. Has anyone used this setup and have any advice for installation/adjustment?

Di you ever end up getting this installed, if so how do you like it? Im considering getting one myself, and like the idea of losing the torque arm.

Interesting, but I didn't see any installed pictures, and am unfamiliar with anyone who has installed this system. I would like to hear more input too.

Not a fan of ladder bars for street use. Kits like these have been around since the 80's with the 3rd gens just because back then there was no solution for tranny swaps. Follow this thread and read my post to understand why you really don't want to do this mod:
