I got a set of Maximum Motorsports heavy duty non-adjustable lowers and Steeda OEM style uppers for my car. Installed the lowers today and waiting for the differential side bushing to come in so I can install my uppers hopefully tomorrow. Planning to build my rearend with 31 spline and 4.30 gears this winter so I will be ready to hit the track in the spring.

I'm hoping to get into the 12's with a set of drag radials. I have this big plan of mod's if my money and my wife will permit. Haha

I don't see why you wouldn't, if you can get it to hook I seecthat being no problem being on the coast. Cars are faster on the east coast. I got friends in ga with 4vs well in the 12s with basic stuff. It's all about your short time

Yea. Thats why my first mods are gonna be getting the horsepower I already have to stick then I can concentrate on adding more. I have had a few pushrods motors but I really like these mod motors. And REALLY like the 4v's.

If your car doesnt run 12's, somethings wrong. That car will easily run deep in the 12's on a good tire.

Finally got my bushing in and installed my steeda uppers last night. For anyone with a car with high mileage or over 7 years old, I recommend changing at least the bushings in the rear if not the UCA's and LCA's . You don't realize how much play you rearend has in it until you put some new ones in. And its not that hard to do, only took a few hours total with basic hand tools. I bought the maximum motorsports bushings removal tool that made removing the diff bushing a breeze. I do have a extra set of Energy suspension bushings for the UCA, diff side that I will sell along with the MM tool if anyone is interested ill post in the sale tread. STANG ON
