Our 5028 kits are recommended for cars with 450 horsepower or less. The basic 5028 kit has tubular chrome moly upper control arms with chrome moly double adjustable adjusters (for setting pinion angle and chassis preload for maximum traction at different tracks without removing any bolts or control arms). All of our adjusters are chrome moly with 3/4" threads and 3/4" heim joints bushed down to the correct bolt size for the strongest on the market. The more pinion angle the harder the suspension system will hit the rear tire but at a loss of horsepower to overcome the pinion angle. Therefore don’t run any more pinion angle than what your car combination needs. Adjusting chassis preload will help the car with straight line launches (not the typical GM turn to the right launch). Also fixed length tubular chrome moly lower control arms (with sway bar mounts) for rigidity, strength, and repeatable performances. Plus 3/4" plate steel no-hop bars (to change the imaginary intersection point of the upper and lower control arms if they were extended forward) which will cause the car to lift in the rear and plant the tires harder. Just as you can‘t lift 100# without putting 100# additional pressure on your feet your cars chassis can’t lift the body without pushing even harder on the tires. Our no-hop bars are shorter than other brands which are to tall and can hit the tire to hard.
Due to the fact that that the car will now lift in the rear it is also recommended that the springs are changed to our lighter weight and taller rear springs which will assist the chassis in lifting by providing stored energy in the spring. Triangulation braces (5029) are highly recommended to strengthen the crossmember that the upper control arms are fastened to. The crossmember can and probably will flex and eventually crack. As it is flexing, a 1/8” flex can cause a change in your pinion angle of approximately 1 degree. On a car with 2 degrees of pinion angle that’s a 50% loss. Don’t forget shocks. You get what you pay for. A good adjustable shock is necessary to get maximum performance and have repeatable results. If you want to get rid of that typical body roll where the drivers side front corner lifts about a foot higher than the passenger side order a DMR-5413 anti roll bar. This will help eliminate the body roll and body flex plus help plant the rear tires more evenly do to a more even load on both rear tires. Most components can be purchased separately but we do offer package discounts based upon the components purchased. We have no-hop bars available to allow the use of non GM rearend in GM cars.
