Well my car car puts out over 630 ft/lbs of torque.. which is the nice part...
the bad part is this...

the other side is the same, both sides are ripping out...


I went to the local track this last Wedsnesday and upon launching, I noticed a noise I have never heard before... Made a loud popping noise. I was using drag radials for the first time and being that I have a SPEC stage3+ clutch, I am putting that torque on the tires, so Im in trouble now.
My lower control arm braces (or torque boxes) are being torn off, how do I fix that without having to back-half the car and making a 4-link set up? Any kind of bolt/weld on kits out there that I can buy and be durable enough to withstand some drag racing once in a while?
Sorry for the picture quality, they are only cell phone pictures, but trust me, they look bad!
