Dave, I think you have fr/rear shock tower braces and that frame brace. Been thinking the pedders foundation bushing kit and the rear kit would really improve handling at the strip. On launch the ass end would go to 0 instead of squatting down. The f-kit would help out with pitch and body roll. I'd try that and see if it does the trick. Shit man it never ends, lol. | |

Shit man it never ends, lol. yeah the suspension up grades i have are the front and rear tower braces, sub frame connectors, hotchkis sways, and the pedders lx critical front bushes. i will do the complete rear pedders bushings when i get around to replacing the rear end. the reason i ask about the links is cause i was changing my oil yesterday and i noticed the drivers front is twisted a bit. so after some research i saw how small they were in comparison to the b woodys. i have been hearing a clunk over bumps from that side now i know why. i will not replace it with oem, whats the point? i have heard a shop can do all four corners in 2 hours, but that is still 2 hours labor costs. | |

| Links will twist a LITTLE, not supposed to be ALOT though. They are after-all a ball-socket type design. As for aftermarket like "high-performance" or "up-grades", I'm not too sure, but as for installation, they are VERY easy in my opinion, Just wanna make sure they are tight after you're done, I'm meaning the nuts that bolt them to the strut and the sway bar. A good impact will snug em down enough. You can do them on without a lift, it's just easier and at a good level rather then working on the gorund. If you get some aftermarket ones, you are more than welcome to come up and use the shop bro!!
I can get ones from the dealer (oem), as well as ones from like Napa or Advance Auto.... but like I said, the "upgrade" ones, I don't know too much about..say from Pedders or a place like that. | |
