Looks fine except for the Eibach kit. Very few have been happy with that kit. Do a search and you will see what I mean.

Too bad you bought the Eibachs. I just threw a pair away. Could have given them to you free. Recommend you get your money back. They are too dangerous if you want to run at high speeds.

Send back the accufab and buy an SCT tuner.

Trade the Eibach for Bell Tech or Roush.

Bell-Tech is also crap. Go with Roush or Hotchkis. And mix it up with some parts from RUslow.

I told the shop to hold the order for a drop, what are th eparts I need list the brand and wat the part is.

It seems to me that everyone has their own opinion on what setup is better than others.

I want a nice ride but not a 4x4 look. Handle would be nice as well.

I just got in the metco adj. traction bars.

I just ordered the Hotchkis TVS, sitting here waiting to be installed. I will let you how it goes. All you hear is compliments about the Roush and Hotchkis suspension kits. I recommend you research a bit and order one.

Check out my site for some opinions (some firsthand from me, others from RUSlow, Speedin Bob, thepawn, Spike Engineering, and several other road racers).

At the risk of patting myself on the back, you would be well served to pay attention to the suggestions of those of us who road race. "My setup works fine" from someone who rarely places extreme demands on it is not the best endorsement.

Thumbs up

Like Tim said Talk to the owners who are the 1 or by now maybe 2%ers.They can tell you what works alot better than the guy on the other end of the phone writing down your order.If you are just wanting to look cool[I know it date me]then buy what ever you like.IF you want the handling to go with it then you need to do more searching.Their are many options out their and some have mixed and matched what seems to work best for the tracks they run on,as well as the roads they drive to work.Stan

AND A BIG THANK YOU!! To all you TRACKMASTERS for sharing your knowledge.

There was a lot of time and money spent before settling in on what works for these trucks.

I sure wish I could experience and afford to do that type of racing.

It looks like fun and it's hard to believe that you can still use it to get groceries if you want.
