I have the Pfadt trailing arms. I've very happy with how they have helped my suspension. I have a lot of Pfadt parts in my car. They make great products.

Boy those stock bushings are a bear to remove. I ended up making my own tool for removing them (piece of 2" pipe, washers and an 8" bolt). You should have your website recommend the Pfadt bushing removal tool when people order those trailing arms

To eliminate any and all wheel hop I have done the following: Pedders XA Drag pak II (complete bushing and coilovers) BMR subframe connector, Pfadt trailing arms. With 640+ to the wheels and no wheel hop, just lots of smoke the wheel hop problem is solved.

I have no intentions of hijacking this thread, I just want to clarify some things since we were mentioned in the thread a few times as well. The OE trailing arms are very flimsy and have low durometer rubber bushings. Any upgrade will be better than nothing. Some companies claim that all you need is bushings but as Pfadt's and BMR have known from the beginning, the trailing arm itself is prone to flex as well. Installing bushings in the factory trailing arms only fixes half the problem and costs almost as much as a set of bulletproof trailing arms with better bushings already pre-installed. Upgrading trailing arms will remove the majority of your wheel hop if not cure it completely.
That being said, how do you choose whose to buy? Certainly both are great products, we just chose alternate ways of building them. Ours are no holds barred, built as strong as you could make them with overlapping, double welded plates, gussetted rear box and rectangular tubing. Nobody will ever bend or break a pair of our Trailing Arms. Building them this way makes them a little heavier but it's nothing to be worried about, 1.5 lbs. per arm for a total of 3 lbs. heavier than the OE trailing arms... |
