Yea, I agree. I know there is a difference in what people think streetable. I first want to be able to hook first and formost which is why I threw the idea of a ladder bar or 4 link out there. Most people wouldn't run a drag brake setup on the street, alot of people wouldn't run skinnies or remove the factory sway bar. I'm okay with that but I drive accordingly. I'm obviously not going to be driving the car like I drive the Z. I'm also not concerned with a comfortable ride. When I mentioned that I don't want to beat the suspension up, I'm just not sure how long sperical bushings and joints will last etc. When I say I want it to be streetable, I'll more or less drive it at most once a week or up to a hang out on the weekend or drive it to the track.

I built an 8.8 for my old coupe, 9" flanges, 33 splines, spool etc when I had it. I was just a little worried when I read that article in Race Pages.

I want to know more about the offset control arms and or relocation ends. I know they made them for Fbodies, but I wasn't sure if they were avalable for foxs or SN95s. Would the lowers connect in the same place at the body or is that were relocation ends were to come into place?
Thanks bro
