Suspension Upgrades

I am planning on swapping out my 2.73's for some 3.73's, but am pretty sure the suspension is really gonna need to be beefed up to take it and improve my times at the track. I have subframe conectors already, but can't decide what to do next. Was thinking rear Lower control arms first and see from there. What do you think?

I see your running BMR'S, how do you like those. Also, would you go adjustable or not?

LCA relocation brackets and new LCA's will help you the most. Also consider getting rid of the stock tourque arm so it can be placed on the transmission crossmember to get the force off the tail shaft of your transmission. I really have to recommend spohn.net. I use thier products, I personally have thier wonderbar, tourque arm, and t-56 retrofit crossmember. Thier welds are great and they use high quality material. Not to mention thier customer service is great.

They help if your car is lowered. They help with the center of your something I forget. Also a panhard rod, but the torque arm is a great mod. You will hook better out of the hole.

They have an even greater effect if your car isn't lowered.

I always heard that Spohn was the way to go as far as torque arms go...but I'm sure BMR makes a great product as well!
