have u scraped with it yet?

cuz them things sit pretty low...and what brand did u get?

mattharper

i just got the ractive kind... i didnt even see other kinds anywhere... i heard ractive was the only comp. that made lower tie bars for 92-95.but maybe the others are just hard to find.....




i havnt scraped yet... but im a very carefull driver and i havnt driven too much cause i worked then started drinkin right after work.....it is pretty low tho... hangs about 1-1.5 inches below the frnt lower cross-member

other companies make em, they just cost a pretty penny...and thank goodness I have a shop to install things...5min job!

i got the air tools and all that...just no hoist...... it was a pain trying to fit a bigass jack under the car.... i had to start with a tiny jack and work my way up

yup its a huge pain, I built a ramp setup with long *** 2x4's ...

Im hopeing to get all my suspension and underbody work done before I lower my car and put the body back on for summer.

So nice working on a stock hight setup

I scrape mine all the time over speedbumps and going off driveways. I'm thinking about taking it off cause it's annoying, and I don't believe it makes much of a difference.

i got a ractive one as well... haha mine scraps sometimes!! pisses me off but hey what can u do...

also have a ractive 96-00 rear lower tie for sale if anyone is lookin

imported_BoOsTd

my rear has never scraped... are the fronts different? do they hang lower ? My rear is pretty well even with the controll arms... Maybe i wont get a front one now after reading this...

Cynikal.Mindset

rear go straight accross and the fronts kinda dip down in the middle and sit lower than the lower rad support in most cases...everybody I know that has one scrapes it regardless of brand, spoon, carbing etc.

imported_BoOsTd

hmm, well im only going 1.5 this year, so maybe it wont be too bad...

Cynikal.Mindset

shouldnt be...it sits maybe an inch lower than your downpipe...and if you have headers they might contact each other and rattle take that into consideration

mattharper

i was lookin at mine last night, it sits pretty much right at the bottom of the rim, 14" steelies

imported_BoOsTd

rough...got headders... well ill assess the situation after I get my suspension all set up i guess, than decide whether its worth it...
