Show me your spirited street/road track suspension

You can ditch the upper control arms also when you get a T/A right?

 

[GroverDill]

Correct.

****ty cell phone pic, i went with this setup because its light

Its not as bad as people think, it will clear most x pipes and h pipes

I wonder how much trouble I'd have installing that extra cross member udner my already installed full length sub-frames. They're welded from to back.


Thanks for the pics... that clears up some of those, "I've always wondered" questions.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

Uhm so are mine? Thats how the TA attaches to the car

 

[Noobz347]

It looks like the cross member slides up underneath the seat brackets for the sub-frames. If your sub-frames were welded before the addition of the cross memeber, how much ass pain was it to get the cross member in?

 

[GroverDill]

The T/A crossmember tabs are welded to the SFC, hold in proprer place and weld.

 

[Noobz347]

Ok, so there's nothing that has to be stuffed in between the SFC and the floor pan.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

Nope, welds inward for the SFC

 

[LarsD]

How is the ground clearance with the T/A? Is it much worse?

 

[Shaolin Crane]

I havnt scraped it on anything, and my car is pretty low

 

[7upstang91]

why would more grip be a bad thing on the streets?

It isn't. Ground clearance is.

You do realize Fbodies came from the factory with torque arms dont you?

Yes sir. How did we start on Fbodies? I never said they didn't.

Its a 3 link, camaros and firebirds have TA and PHB setups from the factory, just like the S197 is a 3 link, nothing wrong with running a TA on the street

thank you!

I remember you saying something like, you scraped or were close to scrapping. Something along those lines, I am not sure. Thank you for clearing that up. Just trying to learn more!

I scraped with the POS h pipe i made, the turn down hung lower than the rest of the exhaust so it would scrape everywhere, so i had another one made
