Global West Track Link
Anyone installed this? Has been talked about but never found anyone who installed it. How hard was it? Any improvement? Good for street handling with some occasional track time?

Re: Global West Track Link
I do like the added bracing of the traklink but also the driveshaft loop on the UMI piece

Re: Global West Track Link
I have one, install was really easy, I still want to reinforce the area in the floor where the brace bolts to, haven't really driven the car that much since I put it in. here's a few pics of it installed

Sweet, I like it, How does it handle? Any improvement over just a torque arm?

Re: Global West Track Link
the plate is right in front of the front mount for the torque arm
I am pretty sure you need this one http://www.globalwest.net/tsc-23.html but I'd call global west just to be sure.
