wow racing beat stuff is here

Just got my racing beat sways
sway end links
rear toe eliminators
vert springs

One thing I have to say is that the front sway is huge and heavy. Much more ridgid than stock.

From the looks you can't tell any difference between vert springs and regular 1'inch drop springs. I will have to see how muck lower the car gets with them on

FWIW:
Don't be supprised if the new springs raise the car a little.
Old stock springs tend to sag lower than their origonal height.
My stock 91 sits ~1" lower than it's supposed to.

I'm sure you will like the new feel.

Yeah let us know what you think about the swaybar upgrades. I skipped the swaybar as it doesn't normally get worn out, but I think that, a real strut tower brace, and engine torque brace are all good upgrades that will not sacrifice driveability or cause NVH (noise vibration harshness). Also you might consider new motor & transmission mounts.

What sucks is nobody makes aftermarket Series V end links, so I'm stuck with OEM "dogbone" style ones.

yeah I have front and rear strut bars as well. I also got KYB AGX 5way struts with a hyper flex bushing kit as well to get rid of all those old rubber worn out parts.
I went ahead and got brembo bradi cross/slotted rotors
KVR Carbon/Kevlar pads
SS brake lines
SS clutch line
SS oil lines because I think one leaked. Best to change them then change motors because of it.

I bought a ton of stuff to impove on my vert/turbo handling and braking.
