Steeda 5-link

[stockerbill]

Has anyone installed one of these kits on their SVO, or other Fox body for that matter? I am setting my car up for SCCA ESP class and I also run it in HPDE and PDX sessions and I want to do what I can to eliminate the factory upper arms and add a panhard rod. Rules say I jhave to keep the OEM lower arms. This setup looks like it would be the most effective without going to a torque arm, which doesn't look like it is legal in ESP anyway. It requires an 8.8 rear, which I have ready to install. Another option is a watts link but I don't know of any that are specifically for Fox bodies.

Comments or suggestions?

Thanks!

I have a friend who had one in his race car. He liked it for its adjustability. You want the original 5-link and not the 5-link II, but it's not going to be tail pipe friendly. There are a few companies making a Watts link for the fox, including Griggsracing, Frays and perhaps Cortex racing. I've been told time and again that the Griggs suspension is the best, but I guess that's a matter of opinion. In any case, a serious rear suspension usually requires a side-exit exhaust before the rear axle, which may not be street-legal wherever you live. The panhard bar/torque arm set-up seems to be more street-friendly and easier to set-up.
