theres a huge difference, the MM UCA's are nothing more than a little stiffer than stock and NON adjustable... on his setup, they would be worthless. looks like its a drag car judging by that anti-roll bar, the solid upper bushings, cage and fuel cell... you need something to adjust the pinion angle and a double adjustable lower wouldnt be a bad idea to get the rear squared
it adjusts the pinion angle, which needs to be done so the axle is in the right position when launching the car. I think -1.5 degrees is where you need to be on our cars... im not 100% on that but from what i remember when i had my car scaled i think thats where they set it.
Solid bushings would be a good idea if your planning on launching hard.

First off people will tell you that you shouldnt run solid bushings on a street car cause its a harsh ride and whatnot, but they are fine for a weekend warrior. I've had them in for at least 4 years now, and they've held up fine, and the ride is not that bad, but its no Caddillac. Also, if your making enough power and putting it to the ground, you can rip poly bushings without trying too hard.
I have the same situation as you... non adj lowers with Eddy adj uppers, it works, but its not ideal, my rear is 1/2" out of square, and theres nothing i can do about it until i get adjustable lowers to make up for my tq boxes moving. Its very unrealistic to assume that the rear will be square with no adjustment. But at least get adjustable uppers so you can set the pinion angle.
I would reccomend that when you get the car all together send it to a good chassis shop and spend a few bucks getting the car scaled and setup. it will make a world of difference
Ya one day I will send it out..maybe..heh.Damn I don't have money to go for adj lowers and uppers.I'm just going to run what I got and hope it closely enough squared.car hasn't seen much time on road so I don't believe torque boxes moved,and they are fully welded now.I dono we will see what happened.How do I set pinion and what does it do for me?Also how do I set my anti roll bar...
I stripped most of the under coat off the center of the car now all I need to do is now sand it all down and coat the same as the rear.What do you guys this about not putting undercoat back on?I did a rustoleum primer/then rustoleum paint.It feels real rubbery like it won't really chip or scratch.This will not be a rain/winter car by any means.Do you think I can get away with not puttin undercoat back on or will it at some point rust on me again?I know this is a hard question to predict...
haven't been on here in a while..I apologize.I'v got alot of work don't since last post.Hope you enjoy.
