i currently have hotchkis boxed lca's and a non adjustable panhard rod. i already ordered some bmr boxed sfc's. i want to do the rest of the suspension now. the car is probably driven once or twice a week at most. i will be taking it to the tracks a lot.

i was thinking about getting bmr adjustable phr, bmr torque arm trak-pak with a ds safety loop, bmr lca relocation brackets, and a bmr stb. is there anything i should change or get? should i stick with bmr or go with spohn. i hear great things about both. what are spherical rod ends that spohn has?

 

i forgot to mention that i also have eibach springs and bilstein shocks

 

If this is a drag only car, you don't need a new PHB. Especially if your car isn't lowered. Sounds like you have a good set up now. A TA will help out your traction.

Spherical rod ends do not use bushings. Generally not used for street use due to the extra road noise and harshness of ride.

Also, if you are getting a STB for cornering, don't. You will see much much more gains from a front sway.

 

my car is lowered. they are eibach lowering springs. i dont know which ones they are though. should i get drag racing springs and other shocks? do i need the adj. phr?

 

here's the gist, if you have a lowered care and have been running without a phr, you will definitely want to get one. check your tires too, you probably have some problems with those too. like on the outside edges of the tires rubbing horribly. the way to check if you need a PHR or not is easy. go to one side of the car, check the space between the tire and the outside edge of the wheel well, take a note of that space and do the same to the other side. if they are with reasonable distance, say about 1/8 inch or less, you're probably good. otherwise, you will probably have problems soon if you dont already. when i got my springs i had the stock phr and i couldnt get traction for crap, my tires were wearing really fast and i didnt know why. then i got a phr with rod ends from ebay, only like 75 bucks, very cheap and way better looking than anything powdercoated, any way, setup the rear for the same distances and i hooked way better, had no tread problems and no alignment problems.

easy way to save about 500 bucks i'd say. stop ripping through tires.

 

whats better? rod ends or poly bushings?

 

If "better" means all out performance and no comfort/creature comforts, then rod ends.
