torque Boxes

[PJB]

I just got them yesterday and havent gotten them put on yet.
They look like good quality parts though.
Im going to get an install price tomorrow because I cant weld.

Take a look at the Pro3i pieces too! I've heard some good things about them from Rick91Gt and few others that have beat on them at the track.

i have pro3i on my 03 gt...they dropped my times from 13.52 to 13.38!

PJB .. let me know how those work out for you .. i dont see any reason why they wont be fine , but let me know how you make out ... Pro3i is the best control arm? ... What is the difference between the jacker and the regualr? ... the jacker on the link that 85ragtop gave me is 235 and the other one is 170 .. i have no idea what the difference is though ...

The jacker version gives you teh ability to raise or lower your rear end. You can also use it to perfectly level the car if required.

I prefer the jacker types for that rare occation that I want to toss a slicks on the car. That little bit of adjustment can mean the difference between running a wrinkle wall or not, depending on how much room you have.

 

[jfran430]

oh so they would be considered adjustables?

I will. I might be getting them put on this week. It all depends on when the guy can do them.

Im getting them installed Monday. The guy I went to said they seem like good quality parts.
He's charging me $300 cash for the installation and that includes taking apart the interior and putting it back together, sandblasting the weld area on the car and undercoating it when its done.

 

[jfran430]

wow thast expensive ... but it will be worth it. let me know how you make out with them..

 

[PJB]

I figured on spending that much. Theres a good amount of labor involved- removing the interior, removing the control arms (and possibly the whole rearend?) and prep/finish work.
Another guy around here charges $385 with the reinforcements included so basically Im saving 20 bucks.

Ill let you know how the install goes and all.

Not to jack the thread. But I'm going to do the same.

Are these any good for what you are talking about?

Then all I need is upper and lower control arms?

What ones do I need for 700hp and being a street and not drag car?

 

[PJB]

Those are just the uppers.

Those are just the uppers.

Are you talking to me?

Thanks PJB ... I geuss it is alot of work ... but at least it will be worth it when you are done.

 

[PJB]

I sure hope so. I do drag race the car and its already got aftermarket control arms so thats added stress on the torque boxes.

 

[jfran430]

Yea see i dont race my car ... i just want it for the streets, but i do occasionaly beat on it and i dont wanna risk the chance of screwing everything up ... sp i would rather be safe than sorry and just put them in!
