That is a toy, mostly stock appearing Fox. The pic you are referring to is the only one that is NOT of my car. I posted that as a "what if my upper torque boxes are destroyed" option. You can purchase similar kits from several fabricators if your uppers are past the point of rescue. It is about $300.00 and I'm glad I didn't need it.gearhead, is that a full-race car or a daily? From the axle side that hardware looks pretty hard-core.
So you didn't buy torque box reinforcements? And/or weld the boxes all around?Thanks guys. It is still in one piece and welded up top. It had pulled two spot welds on frame rail and separated down on lower part where it attaches to floor pan. Sharad the control arms seemed to be a nice upgrade. I drove it around a bit. I actually hear my nitto 555r squealing instead of just spinning. I have a sticky caliper or noisy wheel bearing in back that got louder with these new arms but that's understandable. They definetly make the car hook and handle better though.
I will be bolting in some reinforments at the very least or perhaps a shop do some welding and or fabricating.So you didn't buy torque box reinforcements? And/or weld the boxes all around?
FWIW, if you are driving the car on the street. or wanting it to handle, you may want tot back off on the stiff upper control arms. The factory 4 link is always trying to find it's "center" (because of the upper arms coming in at two different angles and fighting each other) this leads to a condition called "snap oversteer" on corner exit. Stiff upper arms (or worse, adding a panhard bar.. another arc to deal with) only makes this worse. If you drag race it, then no problem, stiffen the heck out of it.
Or you can just run spherical bushings in the axle housing. Problem solved.
