uppers/lowers or lowers/panhard/torque arm

PeTr0 · 02-22-2001, 12:49 AM

I want to make my car a street car that can preform good on the stip but is quite a corner carver. Long term goals would be 12.9 QM and nice with great handling. I have bad wheel hop now and want to change my rear suspension. Should i go with a set of uppers and lowers like mega bites or griggs or another company. Or I was looking at Griggs racing kit.. and thinking about getting just the lowers and then the panhardbar and torque arm and throwing out my uppers. what do you guys think is going to be best.

Are you kidding? If you've got the money go with the Griggs kit. A panhard bar and torque arm will kick the sh!t out of any standard control arm setup. But there will be a lot of other things to consider such as new spring rates and whatnot. Start talking tech to people at Griggs, Maximum Motorsports, and the like. See what they have to say.
