so since no one geussed i will high five myself ;p
anyway here it is

hardrace rear trailing arms and lateral links
old vs new

b4

after





right away im gonna tell you set aside acouple of hours cause u have to drop the rear sub frame to get the bolts out after that it was pretty easy just measure you arms and adjust to the same length but i changed the toe in to about 1.3 toe in instead of 1.0 each side and you can fell the difference.
you fell that the rear is more tight and more controlable with reduced flex. i defantly recomend this mod to everyone worth the money quality is top notch.
next mod hardrace engine mounts/heavy duty clutch and light weight flywheel so stay tuned

If you don't mind me asking... How much did this kit set you back?

minimum is stock maximum i have no idea at the moment but i will be putting up update for when i do track work so that will show the adjustability. this isnt like the aac lateral links which is for hellaflush fitment the hardrace is for performance.

as for price i payed 425 but i bought the engine mounts and hose kits aswell so i got a better price

Lol, yeah thought so. And I know... Just got my rear sway bar through pete. I am really just after possibly the trailing arms... Lateral links really do much besides adding a bit of extra adjustment? Personally I probably wouldn't bother til later with lateral links, but trailing arms I want

Trust me people say they dont do much but once it is put on u can fell it
I did mine cause all the rubbers where crackin and there was a squicking noise.
As for stock lengths front arms 49 rears 56 cms
Megan racing sells just the trailing arms but for the cost+shipping its cheaper to get the hard race whole kit

trailling arms do SFA also. the ability to adjust the rear wheel track is what get me excited about the lateral links. looked into megan racings ones once, but they actually decreased the track at their maximum length.
