just wondering if anyone is using a ladder bar or 4 link setup on their third gen?if so,c/e,jegster,or other?
seems to me that setup would remove the need for the torque arm and make it easier to run a clean dual exhaust,maybe a different trans crossmember too.
pics would be great!

My ladders bars are of unknown origin. I think they're an old set of CE.

Ladder bars will eliminate the torque arm and LCA but they're not a simple bolt in item. When I installed mine, I sectioned out a piece of floor for them to pass through. I also welded in a front crossmember to my SFC for the ladder bars to attach to.

There are some pics on me web site. My car also isn't street legal. I wouldn't recommend ladder bars on the street and having a 4-link installed is expensive.

 

I went with the SSM liftbar set-up on mine. They act the same as ladder bars without having to do the floorpan mods. They have a crossmember too. I see the crossmember as being another obstacle for an exhaust system, so it's not going to make exhaust any easier (in my opinion). I do not have exhaust yet....I'm not looking forward to installing it. I second Stephen 87 IROC's statement concerning running a set-up like that on the street (although I'm going to drive mine on the street).

Who needs ladder bars or 4-links when guys are running 7's on drag radials with stock style suspension in f-bodies?
