Those 8.5 inch tire guys use that setup and have had great success running into the 8's with it.

No doubt a sweet setup for the Fox chassis.

States clearly in the rulebook that cars with rear coil springs may relocate the upper control arms at the rear-end attachment point Mark.

The one pictured above mine might not fly...it appears to have some extra bars requiring another attachment point.

I intend to use these along with the Southside Machine lift bars hoping to get a favorable IC.

You guys beat me to it.

SUSPENSION, Rear

Must remain as produced, except for the following: Leaves may be
changed (added or subtracted) as long as overall length and
mounting points are used. Coils may be changed (clamped or
spaced) as long as stock mounting points are maintained. Solid
bushings in rear suspension permitted. Cars with rear coil springs
may relocate the upper control arm at rear-end attachment point.
Rear trailing arms may be replaced with NHRA-accepted OEM-type
aftermarket units. Aftermarket lower unit must be non-adjustable
and have bushed ends (no heims). Aftermarket upper unit may be
adjustable and use heim ends instead of bushings. Sway bar(s)
optional. OEM or aftermarket torque arm permitted only on vehicles
OEM-equipped with a torque arm. OEM torque-arm attachment

points at rear end must be retained. See General Regulations 3:4.

Now that would be interesting, since both of those products change the instant center by themselves.
Keep us posted.

I don't know how...tried a copy/paste of that paragraph from the rulebook and it went crazy on me. Took me five minutes to backspace all the gibberish out lol.

I use Team Z rear arms on my stuff.
I used it on a NMRA Factory Stock car and went low 1.4's with a stick and Drag radials.
We have is now on our NMRA Coyote Stock car and have gone low 1.3's.
Dave Zimmermans stuff works and he is a wealth on knowledge when setting it up.

Laters,

Yeah, I kept looking at those lowers and it appeared to me a better possible angle vs all the rest. Only downside I see is they are likely heavier pieces than any other...weight in the right spot anyway.

Edit: I said Southside Machine, but these are actually UMI, a copy of the same. http://www.ebay.com/itm/360192700262?item=360192700262&viewitem=&sspagenam e=ADME:X:AAQ:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr Guessing those plates on the sides are for an optional sway bar mount?

[Sean Marconette]

None of those shown have any adjustment options from what I can see, like a 4 link, other than the UCA's?
I would recommend making sure the bolts in the LCA's have no slop with the new arms. I replaced my stock bolts, as the bolts are metric and the LCA bushing was 1/2".

Thanks, Rich. I haven't figured this Mac yet.
