8.8 solid rear
ok, so i been trying to find a used 8.8 solid rear and i just about given u. so im going to buy it directly from grannysspeedshop.com, but i dont want there whole kit. i pretty much want everything but the torque bar and watts link set up.
this will be a drag only car with slight street usage. but i dont want to cut the body at all, im keeping it stock chassis. now im a welder by trade, so i can build something strong from metal. but i have never designed a solid rear set-up. could i just weld on a place to use a panhard bar from the P.Side of the axle to the D.Side of the body to keep it strait, then have something to hold up the front of the diff? a simple mount from body to the nose. i dont see anything wrong with this...
or does someone have a better idea? pictures help!!!

I would think just buying their entire kit would be easier. Their kit is even designed to use the stock strut set up and brakes. Im contemplating on buying it next year with my income tax..
