Hello,

Thanks for the interest

How are you driving the vehicle and what is it being used for? I will be glad to make a recommendation.

Thank you!
Ryan

I think the general oppinion is Poly/Rod for DD , Rod/Rod For mostly strip, but I know some people that run Rod/Rod on their Mostly Street/Strip cars...it comes down to what can you put up with...UMI will help you out shot them a PM

Midwest Chassis makes a bad *** rod/rod that makes no noise form the rods. you get street noise. but none of that metal on metal noise like most rod/rod make. ( never heard a umi rod/rod. just know midwest makes no niose)

I like the Pavlock`s. Made from T-6 aircraft aluminum. Haven`t installed them yet, but haven`t heard of any complaints about them. Great looking stuff and very beefing looking/feeling.

I went poly/poly...as a daily that never sees any track except drag strip it was a no brainer. IMO unless you decide to run a taller tire or swap a different rear

it is mainly street driven and I am getting into roadracing more, that is the main thing it is used for. and once in awhile to the drags for fun but not serious. Also, noise does not concern me

Either item will work well for you. For the "best" performance and ease of adjustment (if needed) the double adjustable would be the choice. However seeing the car is street driven and if street driven a lot the poly/rod combo would best suit you, the poly end will absorb the road harshness.

Please let me know if I can assist anymore. Thank you
