what would be better first as Im working on a budget for now... subframe connectors and lca relocation brackets or torque arm? Im having traction issues and I know part of its my tires but I want to work on some of the suspension till I wear my tires down enough to get some DR's.

Thanks!

I would DEFINITELY go with SFCs first. It provides great stability especially in a T-Top car, and reduces rattling of interior. Since you essentially link the frames of the car together, you distribute torque much more smoothly and evenly.

LCAs and RLBs would be a nice next step. However, I would invest in tires before that.

Unless you plan on visiting the track a lot, I would hold off on a torque arm and put the money towards something else.

I think you can answer the question yourself if you ask:
"Do you want to drag race, or road race?"

This is going to get deleted or locked and the mods will tell you why. Give it time in the suspension room.

LCA's first! Than do the SFC's.. The SFC's will make a WORLD of difference! Both will be used regardless of drag or road race. The LCA RLB's won't really be used in road racing.. If you want road race, go with the solid rod ends instead of poly.
Here's one of my SFC leg hump threads.

yea I expect so but Im looking at ordering in the next week or so and I needed a response lol.

I have LCA's so the SFC's are what I was thinking next. Im going to be at the drag strip and DD with the car for now so Ill go ahead and spend the $66 on the RLB's. :D Thanks for the link to the thread, good to know info!

I have been to the strip once since I bought the car two years ago. I just want to get some better traction while Im driving around base etc as the gate guard made mention of it already once. :rolleyes: Im planning a full suspension swap eventually but I am kinda doing it a little at a time, thus my question of which would be more beneficial at this point. In a few months, hopefully sooner, Ill buy the other pieces I mentioned and then shoot for shocks/springs etc.

Thanks!
