Where are you getting adjustable lower control arms? and NO they won't help on a drag car even if they made them.


The front end on a drag car serves only one pupose and that's to keep the chassis from scrapping on the pavement.

save your $$$ for something else. I'm running a tubular kmember and just stock a-arms with poly bushings and new balljoints. That's all that's needed

Even if they made them? There are at least 5 companies that make them...I have them! I don't know how well they would work on a drag car, but on a road race/ auto cross car they work great since they allow for a lot of camber adjustment.

This is my favorite one from this guy. If every drag car went straight and never had to fight it all the way down the track this really would not even be fun anymore. i think i would go racing in some circles.
