    I happen to have a weekend "street car" that has the MM coilovers on the front, and the rear, and it has the MM panhard bar, oh and the MM torque arm. No cage, but it does have subframe connectors. PBR cobra brakes, and old school CMC (230hp) engine. Sounds like I need to swap the street tires for toyos and run my street car and race car back to back. Both are fox coupes....

    Pay closer attention and you will see that my response is to the MM torque arm and not coilovers--mustangineers.

    Since I missed Hallett I got some practice in at Grandsport Speedway today. I put the (now hated) Big Brake Kit on the car to hopefully stop the axle hop that I've been fighting.

    Didn't work.

    I'll take the Big Brake Kit off and give the Mustangs any torque arm they want if I can have a decoupled torque arm for the Camaro. Please, can I haz decoupled torque arm?

    Could your driving style is the issue w/ brake hop? If that is the case, a BBK will not fix it. I'll make a point to look the car over real well at ECR if you would like.

    dial out rear brake and get rear shocks with better rebound dampening.
