Default Looking for info on SWracecars

I've been looking at their site for a while and since I no longer have the Goat I'm about to get another F-Body and I'm back at checking out the swracecars products again. Wondering in anyone else has used their stuff or even heard of them. The website in the same as I've spelled it and their stuff looks to be pretty good. Thanks guys

Well since both of you have offered your opinions I think I might try to inform myself. With the UMI products what advantage would I see with the Boxed, tubular, and 3 point subframe connectors compared to each other?

And with BMR would it be better to get a double adjustable torque arm or a relocation kit? Also would getting the T/A relo kit make it as to where I wouldn't need a tunnel brace? Sorry for the questions to two companies at once but I've been out of the F-Body game for a while and I'm wanting to jump right back in head first. Thanks

A car that will be driven on the weekends for some fun and a good beating at the track at least once a month. I've got a pickup for the DD and I'm wanting something that's gonna hook, grab, and go

Thanks for the link grifter. Didn't really help me in my situation. I did a search before I posted and didn't find your thread. Must have spelled it differently then I did. My question was about there subframe connectors and such. I'm not looking into a new rear yet.

If you are planning on trying to make the most of your suspension I would use the adjustable torque arm with the transmission relocation crossmember. The adjustable torque arm(TA001) would allow on car pinion angle adjustment so you can tailor the pinion angle more to your specific application. The torque arm relocation kit and serves several purposes. The most obvious one is it removes the torque arm from the tailshaft of the transmission to prevent transmission damage. The next advantage (at least with ours) is the ability to move the torque arm up and down on the mount. By moving the arm up and down you can tailor how the suspension will react on the street and at the strip. As for your second question this mount is not in the same location as the tunnel brace. What most of our customers do is purchase a driveshaft loop (which most of them need any way) and replace the stamped steel unit with the driveshaft loop. If you have any other questions regarding our products please feel free to ask

So the adjustable T/A and relo bracket will happen. And instead of the tunnel brace a driveshaft loop would be a better choice? Thanks
