I'll have to look into the lca relocation brackets. I never even really considered them. Wasn't sure if it would be worth the money. Just when I thought I knew what I was going to do for suspension,now I'm not sure. I know for a fact I'm doing a TA, but not sure what brand I want to go with. I would like to stick with one company for all of it. I like spohns tunnel mounted torque arm with double driveshaft loops and umi's 3 point subframe connectors. Just need to find out if they will work together because they bolt up to the center of the car.

UMI has a new product that replaces the transmission cross member and allows the OEM or aftermarket TA to be mounted to it instead of to the side of the transmission. After I do a 408 and get some $ I'm gonna get it. Ijust got a UMI K member and A arms, unbelievable quality.

I'm sure most of the company's out there are pretty good. But I was thinking of UMI's products. I mainly like Spohns torque arm better but I'm sure UMI's is just as good.

I'm trying to figure out if I should get adjustable stuff or not. I probably don't need everything to adjust. I know I'll definitley get a adjustable panhard and torque arm.

My 28"s on stock height ride did not require adjustable lca's. It did require lca's though as I had to drive around for a week or 2 with my stock lca's ground down pretty good in order for them not to rub.

I changed my mind again. I found a place that's really not too far away from where I live that does a lot of chasis fabrication. Then name of the place is S&W Race Cars, so I think I might go with their sfc's,ta,lca, and phr. Why pay shipping when I can just drive to get the stuff. Don't know if anyone on here has any of their products let me know.
