I had the trailing arms last year and just picked up the control arms. I will have to plan changing the gears, control arms and cradle bushings all at once

I got the drag pack and the toe arms. And the per4mance diff brace. No bushings for now. Figured if I swap springs later I'll do them at that time 🤷‍♂️

You need Street Rs either 17" or 18" wheel. 305 45/18. Gives you more sidewall for bite.

Have them, 315/50-17 MT Street R, on the street with no burnout that hook worse then a Nitto 315/35-20 555R2. I’ve done a same day same place within 1/2 hour 1/4 runs of the 315 NT05R, 315 555R2, and the MT 325/50-17, the 555R2’s gave me the best street 1/4’s. Here they are in my garage, I use them at the track only

I thought you were talking about the track since you were calculating 60".

My Gtech timer gives 60 ft times, great tool for street testing (actually can plot by the ft acceleration all the way to 1320 ft) And is within .005 of track times almost always. GREAT tool, Draggy’s are pretty close as well.
THANKS for the suggestion though.

Don't forget the heated seats...
And the 300 or 400 pounds of extra coolness

Ty everyone, for all the help here. Seriously.

In the words of a good friend,
"you guys really know your shit"

Got my aad drag pack and dirs brace installed. The tech had to spend a while figuring out the spacer tabs for the trailing arms to get the alignment right. But it's done.

Picked it up and sent it. I'm all smiles. Found some fresh asphalt leaving and got the tires sticky. Soon as I launched, it squats and goes.

Totally different feel under hard acceleration and feels awesome in the turns too.

These parts really make a difference. The ride is much more firm and crisp now.

The box of old parts looks like junk. 👍 best money spent so far.
