anyone running these/heard anything about them? i was looking under my car today and just found out that i had them.. i know, i know... did anyone notice a real good improvement from them? any feedback at all? i guess I should be the one giving feedback, but they've been on the car since i've purchased it.. apparently they're supposed to help with traction and planting a lot... unfortunately, i still get a little bit of wheel hopping even WITH them, but i assume it's because of my crappy dry-rotted street tires. anyone know anything about them?

i just put em on my car. i havent run it or driven it yet but a friend has them and his hooks pretty well and no wheelhop w/ drag radials... hope that helped.
Look and see if you have aftermarket uppers...they make a huge difference in wheel hop. I have Lakewood lowers but i'm waiting to get matching uppers until i put'em on.

yes we are running a similar setup, like 85sscoupe said you should put reinforced upper control arms in, not a tough job, maybe a half hour. i am also running 50/50's, 90/10's, eibach drag launch, subframe connectors, and cc plates.
if you have the same traction bars as i do, you should be able to set the height of the bars between two holes. mine are set on the lower hole for traction.
I'm thinking about getting urathane bushing for my stock uppers and box welding them in. If you look at Steeda's website they have a set just like that and they're one of their best sellers. I'd like to have some double adjustable uppers but they're pretty expensive.

I'm pretty sure all V-8 cars came with rear sway bars from the factory. Can't say for sure about 4-cyl cars.
Looking at your pics, i think i got screwed when i got mine. I don't have those brackets that attach to the axle that the arms attach to...am i screwed? I wonder if i can buy those?
