which would do me best (for now)????

[silverstangz]

Soooooo, I'm going to be doing a bit of auto-xing in july, here is whats on my car now,{ eibach pro springs,sawy bars/ end links, front and rear, steedaa adj.panhard bar and brace, M&M caster plates,and frpp strut brace}.I've been looking at getting upper and lower control arms (most likely Steeda),and subframe connectors, which of the latter 3 things just listed would help most???? oh yeah the car also has 20x9 front and 20x 10 rear. which I would rather leave them as they are. and thanks for all thoughts and suggestions.

None.... The biggest changes you could make now would be a good set of shocks, an alignment, tires......

Depending on who you are autocrossing with, there are various rules. SCCA is the largest sanctioning body in the US, and if you change the lower arms you will hose yourself in a hurry on classing. The upper arm can be changed, but frankly it's not a huge deal.

If you only want to do those items, which is a little short sighted--- then I'd recommend SFC's. But not Steeda (and I say that as a Steeda dealer). Their braces aren't full length. I'd recommend the UMI connectors. These are bolt on, but also can be had in weld-on. http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php?PartID=631&CategoryID=34&ModelID=5

What about bmr sfc's they look pretty stout and they have both weld and bolt in

I'm not a BMR vendor, and I would never use their stuff. SFC's are hard to screw up admittedly.... but UMI is local to me, they make really nice stuff, and you have your choice of colors between red and black.

But more specifically, if you look at the UMI's vs they same type from BMR you'll see the UMI used bigger mounting plates on the front, and the tube isn't bent as much (which is stronger) on the front when it turns to mount to the frame plate.

UCA and LCA aren't as important as shocks may be

Subframe connectors? We aren't driving cars based on family sedans made in the craptacular 70's. Skip that shit and chuck those garbage can slices you call "wheels".

What do you have for brakes? Might want to look into that area as well as the stock stuff isn't quite up to par for auto crossing.

 

[silverstangz]

my brakes are baer front { I think they are just a baer replacement caliper }and it has 14' slotted/drilled rotors on all 4 corners,,and ss brakes lines. and, I am going to be changing brake fliud as well.thanks for all the info, I knew I could get the right info here. and after looking at UMI's site, and the price's are REALLY good . looks like I might be going with their stuff.

I'm a UMI dealer. Steeda too, and Maximum Motorsports as well.
