New PA Racing A Arms.. Pics Inside

Chris got a little bored waiting for Duttweiler to Dyno his motor this weekend. So while waiting we picked up some new tubular a arms and coil over shocks. He also swapped out the front brakes with some strange stuff. This whole project should take 60lbs off of the front end.

Let me know what you guys think.

I like them a lot. Strange is the best out there, better than lamb if you want my opinion, I think they have a really awesome product. My lowers are moly, obviously no uppers because of the struts, and those look good. What new motor does chris have in the works? Afco is really good as well, kenny ran their stuff on the red car.

Kenny is going to dnyo the existing motor (394Ci, 18* Head) with the twin GT42Rs and waterman mechanical fuel pump. He will also be doing intercooler testing on it.

You can get them with road racing bracing and standard bushings.
Global West makes a true street set up.

i had trouble finding a kit for my race car, so i ended up making my own front suspension. looks very similar, but i removed the whole stock spring mounting area and put a standard coilover in the place. If i know that someone made a kit i might of saved myself the frustration and just bought it.
