Which to buy?

[silverbull1tt]

I'm trying to decide which to purchase out of the two options, what do you all think?

1) CHE Adjustable UCA, CHE LCA, CHE Axle Brace

2) Spydershaft

Thanks in advance.

3. All of the above.

I don't know, I have always said, if I would start over I'd do the suspension first.

1. But don't get the adjustable UCA, get Anti-Squats with CHE LCAs

I woul go with the Spyder and the LCA to start. Then the rest.

Build from the bottom up. Do the suspension first, then the drive train, then the tranny/motor. Power doesn't do a bit of good if you can't get it to the ground.

My Saleen race craft suspension made a huge difference that you notice when driving. I really notice the suspension mods and I have a few more I need to make.

Depends on your personal preference. I have a friend who ran an 11.19 with a Saleen S/C, headers, upgraded fuel system, dyno tune, stock automatic, bottom end, and suspension on a set of 4.10 gears and DRs.

Do what you are going to be happiest with first.

I'm a little apprehensive about purchasing the spydershaft due to the vibration issues that have been encountered over 90 mph.

I'm not lowered and never intend to be so how would the anti-squats benefit my application? I have also looked into the panhard bar/brace but they seem to be for lowered applications as well. Opinions?

Do tell about these vibrations issues above 90 mph!

I just ordered my spydershaft. I hope I don't have that problem

You already have tons of power, so you will probably notice the suspension upgrades much more.

I say do Adj UCA, LCA, Adj panhard bar and brace.

Read the entry by Mr. Clean in regards to vibrations of the spydershaft. In regards to the Panhard Bar, isn't it's purpose to correct the suspension geometry in lowered vehicles?

 

[matt texass]

nope panhard bar doesnt correct suspension geometry of lowered vehicles. adjustable upper control arm would correct that

The only thing the panhard bar does is center the rear in the wheel wells.

 

[silverbull1tt]

So I take it that when the vehicle is lowered it shifts the rear end out of alignment, thus the need for an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear end, correct? So the non-lowered vehicles that have this mod do so just to make sure their rear end is centered and some very small weight savings/strengthening? I see that only BMR makes a non-adjustable unit, would this be a viable option for non lowered vehicles? It seems to be $40 cheaper than the adjustable ones.

Just purchased the following items from PMP, hope I can install all this without much trouble, it's new territory for me.

* CHE Fixed Length LCA
* CHE Adjustable UCA
* CHE Adjustable Panhard Bar
* CHE Panhard Bar Brace
* CHE Axle Brace

Those sound like awesome mods and you should feel a huge difference in how the car reacts and puts all your added power to the ground.

As far as the adj panhard bar, yes its greatest benefit is for correcting center after lowering but stock ride height cars are not perfect to begin with and adding wide rear tires can pose a problem without this mod.

1 person had a vibration issue with the spydershaft and it is a big issue? How many of us have the spydershaft that does not have the vibration? I have the Spydershaft and do not have a vibration...

Silverbull1tt, you and I have pretty much the same parts except I have the CHE anti-squats and you have the axle-brace. I did the LCA's and the ASB's, a friend's shop did the UCA. I should have the panhard bar and brace soon.

I haven't been to the track to test out my suspension mods, that will be next year when the track reopens.
