Couple quick questions

I'm lowering my 91 Z with an eibach pro-kit.In searching, I have come to understand that just changing the springs will affect the whole rear suspension. So...I bought a UMI adj. panhard bar and adj. LCA's. Do I also need the LCA relocation brackets and an adj torque arm? What are the opinions of a trans x-member with a torque arm relocation? My car should be running 450-500 RWHP through a T56 so I worry about the tailshaft mount on the trans.

Hello
First I would like to thank you for the business! And I just wanted to suggest anytime you lower a vehicle you will lose traction. A set of lower control arm relocation brackets will allow you to adjust the control arm so that is more parallel with the surface and will eliminate your wheel hope and increase your traction performance. And anytime that you are making that type of HP I always recommend when you get between 425-450 hp I would highly recommend getting the torque arm off of the rear of the transmission. Two suggestions would be a torque arm relocation kit and the other would be a tunnel mounted torque arm. Either one will eliminate any possibilities of breaking the tail shaft. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

OK thanks for the info. I will get the LCA brackets from you guys. However, I'm running a T56 with Doug's Long Tube headers. You guys don't make a T56 x-member for 3rd gens do you?
