Weight Transfer and Suspensions

sefus said

Oh yeah and Im on super stock springs.

I always liked the idea of boxing the rear torque boxes. Im not worried about ounces or even a pound or two as long as I have reliability, efficiency and whatever just plain works better than it was.

As for the money its a long term hobby car so I put dollars into it every once in a while. I run it as is, then upgrade a part here and there, so its not a huge chunk all at once.

I dont think I'll go with a tublar K member but will end up with a fiberglass cowl hood so that should take some weight off the front.

Torque boxes are a good thing to have on all four corners. I don't think boxed lower arms are needed on a strait line car though. Mabby if it was a road race hadeling car then I would see boxing them for that but I don't think there could be a lot of load on them just going in a strait line. But that is ust me. You coud put a pinion snubber on too but a lot of the time a car with S/S springs does not need them because S/S springs make the rear of the car rise making the snubber usless as it will not hit the floor. I would go to the track and see how the car does before deciding if you need one or not.
