Question next mod?????

when I do the cams, I was wondering what to do next. I was thinking of control arms, but should I go with uppers & lowers, or uppers & subframes?? I need to make a decision in the next few days!

Thanks, Rich

If you havent done subframes yet, that would be my first recomendation. They made my car feel so much better than stock. I wouldnt have even imagined that they would effect the cars feel as much as they did.

I would do subframes first, then do upper and lower control arms at the same time.

Yea, I know I need subs, but I was also thinking of traction. Do I need to do uppers& lowers together, or can I do lowers first?? How much diff will the uppers make??

what kind?? I was looking at UPR's. I've heard of a lot of guys using them with 300-400 HP cars, and they worked fine.

Re: next mod?????

UPR's are pretty good. Please stay away from the red or black ones that musclemotorsports on ebay sells. Those are those cheap ass granatelli arms that my lil 280rwhp car ended up egg-shaping on of the control arms.

I'd still get subframes first though
