rear lca and uca suggestions
well i need some suggestions on some lower control arms.
I am getting alot of wheel hop on the track and street. This is a street/strip car in the making. So I dont need no over kill stuff. I have used SSM lowers before, and really not intrested in using them again. Not on this car atleast. Has anyone used the BLUE OVAL INDUSTRIES brand that I see on ebay? Right now I have boxed stock uppers. So gimme your suggestions and why. |

Question about adjustable uppers. How do ya know when you adjust the uppers you dont have one side adjusted out further than the other and throw off the angle of the rear end (not pinion angle). Wouldnt that throw the tires of "track".
I hope that makes sence thats the best way I can describe it. |

If this is a street/strip car, I highly recommend Factory-5 Racing.

The fact you are getting wheel hop tells me that your control arms you have now are shot. Factory 5's are the best control arm for the money. Sure, adjustables would be good but they are un-necessary in a true street car IMO.
