    Tech Advice for Camber Adjustments

    it was originally built with stock uppers on it. i added the qa1 uca to the equation and thats my fault. it is plenty adjustable but its to much for my non suspension understanding self.

    Sub-frame connectors... Please build them correctly!

    well there is decades of data to use honestly. the future is now and still changing as days go by. remember top fuel used to be a lap belt and single halo style cage on dragsters. crazy in todays mindset but back then it wasnt a priority or fear. times and people change focus or expand that...

    Sub-frame connectors... Please build them correctly!

    sorry you took my sarcastic response as golden. i have always had a saying that my wife uses often. "something is something and thats better than nothing at all". most think of connectors of long ways strengthing. most dont realize they are for twisting of the car like wringing out a...

    Sub-frame connectors... Please build them correctly!

    yep pretty close. mine is welded all the way down the rail and then the top plate was welded back on with thicker material. welded on all sides the length of the insert into the rail. not really a better way to do it. i like the extended use of the existing frame rail a lot. those diag bars...

    Sub-frame connectors... Please build them correctly!

    sarcasm is a tough thing to express in text. but the simple fact my subframe connectors are not just a strait shot. they go all the aay up the frame rail into the front and rear factory frame. then they also connect on both ends of the rocker panels crating a torsional stiffening of the...

    qa1 k frame weight to factory weight

    i guess my heads up weight is not worth the ballast to move to improve traction. if i can get my car to weight 2800lbs with me in it. i have 500lbs im able to move around front to rear and side to side for traction purposes. so yea weight means a lot to a few and little to most who dont push...

    qa1 k frame weight to factory weight

    what does weight have to due with strength? that makes no sense to me. chromoly is far superior to sheetmetal stamped steel and can be packaged easier and far lighter.
