Default Need to be ready for a 12-bolt!

Hey guys,

I will be a intalling a PTK Turbo kit and see somewhere around 450-480 rwhp. I'm getting a Moser 12-bolt really soon and I've begun to notice that there are alot of significant suspension recommendations when I did a search here. I'm still left with some questions, though.


LCA's: I read somewhere on a search that relocation brackets are required for 12 Bolt. Can anybody elaborate on this a little bit, please? Does this mean I should upgrade the LCA's to aftermarket ones, as well? If I do get aftermarket LCA's, do I still need the relocation brackets?



Panhard Rod: Will I need this? Adj. or not?



Subframe Connectors: I have a Convertible and I don't have many options. I went with the BMR SFC's since I have their springs and am satisfied with their overall quality



Torque Arms: This car will not see much track time, if any. This car is just a weekend cruiser. Aftermarket Torque Arms, how strongly are they recommended?



Sway Bars: What's the difference between this:

(From TR Website on 12 bolt options)

BMR Sway Bar Mount Kit, 3"-3.25" axle tubes w/ 19mm sway bar
(Required for mounting factory 19mm sway bar to Moser rear end)

AND this...

BMR Sway Bar Mount Kit, 3"-3.25" axle tubes w/ 21mm sway bar
(Required for mounting factory 21mm sway bar to Moser rear end)

Did the F-body come with two different sizes of Sway Bars. I thought they were all the same size?


AND... of the parts you guys recommend, are they compatible with 'Verts?

Thanks for any input,

-Alcides

From what I hear the Strange is plug and play. Call them or do some research.

Moser is a plug n play also. I just installed mine. Everything fit to spec. Driveshaft also fit. No fab work. Need to drill a hole for brake bracket on top of 12 bolt housing(webbing). Check your 10 bolt for brackets, clips, etc. when you take it out. I just took my time. 30lbs heavier than 10 bolt.
