So, you all need to buy some traction devices. I had your basic aftermarket upper and lowers, and they sucked. Nothing compares to a set of Megabite Jr's or equivalent and they are only $200 which is just a few bucks more than regular control arms. Why do we all keep buying that crap. I dont know if you all remember me bitching about my crappy 60's and the fact I couldnt burn the tires even though I had slicks and control arms, well all that is gone now. With my street tires, I had to stand on the brake to keep the car from moving while I was trying to roast em. It was still moving forward though, but man was it cooking the meats. So today I went out for a cruise with the slicks on and crap is she fast, and no peeling out. This setup is awesome and still very streetable. I feel I have an insane rearend set up now. Mods are Auburn Pro, 31 spline axles, 3.55 gears, 5 lug disc brake, lakewood 50/50s, Megabite Jr's on max setting, adjustable uppers, and spherical bushings. So if anyone is looking for an optimal combo, that's pretty much it, but I'd use 4.10s if I was NA but I'm not. See ya!!

And you suck.



Man my rear suspension sucks more than a minivan. My buddy told me the other day that when i'm following him and i get on it, he can actually see my drive shaft in his rear view mirror because my car buckles down so hard in the rear, plus my front end is up really high.

My next significant mod is going to be a complete MM grip package.
