• Upper StrongArms feature corrected ball joint angles and the upper ball joint have been moved back to allow for additional caster setting to improve high speed stability and steering feel.  They are powder coated satin black and fully assembled with ball joints, bushing and cross shafts, ready for installation. 

• Lower StrongArms feature a double sheer lower mount for increased strength.  They are powder coated satin black and fully assembled with ball joints, bushing and cross shafts, ready for installation. 

• HQ Series Coil-Overs utilize an impact forged aluminum body and Monotube design to deliver excellent ride quality and handling.  They allow fine tuning of the ride quality and handling via the rebound knob is located at the top of the shock for under hood access. They come standard with a 1,000,0001 Mile Warranty.  Hyperco springs are used to provide a consistent spring rate that will last a lifetime.    

• Front Sway Bar helps reduce body roll and creates room for wider front tires. An adjustable-rate Rear Sway Bar is also included, which is a great tool for tuning front/rear grip.  Both include billet aluminum mounts (anodized black) and low friction bushings.

• Rear StrongArms provide added strength to help get the power to the pavement.   They utilize R-Joint Technology to provide smooth operation and reduce roll bind.  The lower arms feature a double sheer mount for the coil-overs locating them in place of the stock springs, keeping the load where is belongs.  The upper arm and panhard bar are adjustable, allowing the axle to be centered and pinion angle to be set.

UPGRADES

• Additional Rear Upper StrongArm – Most cars were equipped with 1 rear upper trailing arm from the factory, therefore only 1 StrongArm is included in this system.  However, some cars were equipped with a 2nd upper arm, requiring the purchase of a additional arm.  

Notes:

• System is designed for use with stock spindles.
