im defininataly gonna get some sub-frame connectors and a stut tower brace for handling, but anyone who has got sub-frame connectors or strut tower brace please tell me if it improved your acceleration? it even says in JEG's that the strut tower brace improves handleing and accelleration, if it does is it a noticable difference? also im leaning toward hotchkis, there not very expensive plus a good brand...any comments will help me
Thanks- Don

 

They definitely improve handling and cornering.

They do not effect acceleration at all except if your car is really twisting that bad.

Stock car they just stiffin it up buit are a necessity for higher modified cars.

 

I am using Spohn rear LCA and Pandhard bar to tighten up the rear supension and a Hotchkis Strut Tower Brace for the front end
(picture). And when they are ready the Spohn SFC's. These Mods are a vast improvement over the stock supension items and are worth the money.

 

If you want suspension components that will help with acceleration/traction, then get the Random Technology Super Bite Kit stage 1 (thats the kit that I'm going with). It come's with an adjustable torque arm, lower control arms, and LCA relocator brackets and all peices come powder coated in silver or black. Then get a Hotchkis adjustable pan hard bar and strut tower brace. Then get sub frame connectors. You'll feel the difference with each suspension mod that you do, but I'd get the super bite kit first.

did you get any 60' times with and w/o the suspension mods? we are lookin for a set of good control arms to get this heavy baby down the track--without spinning!

 

No times for the 60' but like I said "a vast improvement over the stock supension items".

 

this IROC we got is cutting like 2.08 60's right now, and we want it to have a 1.9 or 1.8 w/o ET streets or slicks.
so, if anyone has any times that they got from some suspension work---please post it.
thanks
