G-force tri-link and pan hard bar. Good for drag?

sen2two · 03-21-2011, 08:35 PM

I am going to see what I can get out of the GSL big bearing rear end. I am looking to use a G-force tri-link with a Panhard bar and getting rid of the watts link completely.

Would I remove the upper links completely when doing this? Is this a bad idea if i don't ever plan on using my steering wheel in the car except for staying strait....

My answer is still no.

lol...

I am still thinking of adding a pan-hard bar and dropping the watts link. I cant think of anything that would make this a bad idea.

I don't know that the watt's link is doing you any harm. Wouldn't your money be better spent on:

a. Adjustable rear perches for ride height adjustment and spring choice.
b. Adjustable lower links for maintaining pinion angle.
c. Tires, horsepower, lightening of the car, etc.

Maybe you are already set with those items, I'm just asking.

Some of that I have alrwady, some of i am working on. The tri-link was just an idea. Every little bit helps.
