Sounds like you are after more of a drag suspension setup. Like I said, Midwest Chassis will take care of you.

Just do the MWC Fab 9" with their Torque Arm, LCAs, and Watts Link. Then a full k-member with upper and lower A-Arms. Top it off with some Viking Coilovers.

As you have seen MWC is the right place for you!

We manufacture all our parts in-house and you get nothing but the best parts, highest quality, and lowest prices. On top of all that you also get the best tech help available in the late model f-body world.

The quickest and fastest stock suspension f-body cars are all using MWC complete front and rear suspension systems, along with the ever-popular MWC fabricated 9" rearend package.

Look at the results from the LSX Drag Radial class last weekend. Ohio Boys Racing Mike Brown and Mark Koehler qualified 1 and 2, Brown won the race. Both of these record setting 6 second 1/4 mi cars are running full MWC rearends and suspensions. Ray Litz was also at the top of the field in his Real Street trim and amongst other racers in that class using MWC rearends and suspensions. Ray Bulach has the fastest M6 f-body in the country running 8.60s- all MWC rearend and full suspension. Other top end racers like Eddie Krawiec, Andy Essary, and Brian Black also run the full compliment of MWC rearends and suspension systems. All these racers can have anything they want, and all have chosen MWC suspension over the red parts that were in most of these cars previously.

If you want to go fast consistently the results over the years don't lie. MWC is the one stop suspension and rearend source for the late model f-body car. Whether its a auto crosser, daily driver, a street and strip weekend toy, or a all-out drag car, MWC has you covered!

Give us a call and we will be happy to go over your needs and work within your budget.

Give us a call and we can give you a quote on everything you need. It will come down to what you are really trying to do. If it will be strictly a drag car, or how much street driving/comfort will be important to you. We have been doing these cars for 12 years. We happen to know a thing or 2 about making them work
