Pfadt goodies installed

I installed the Pfadt trailing arms and toe links today. These components are built so much better than stock. Hopefully this greatly reduces or eliminates my wheel hop.

My trailing arms came with my Stage 3 kit and I was impressed with how wheel hop was eliminated.
Now that I have my tie rods installed as well.......holy freakin' wow, the tires don't even spin when I get on it, the rear just squats and she takes off like a bat outta hell!

Well my 6.2L power hammer got some DYNATECH headers installed yesterday and I like the racecar sound. Power is decent as well, less back pressure and I am happier. But now I thing I am becoming a horse power freak.

So if you go for the same parts would I need the sub frame inserts too?

It would not be required but some kind of sub frame bushing upgrade would definitely be beneficial.

Like Chase mentioned, subframe mounts aren't mandatory to see results from these arms. They are lighter and stronger than the stock pieces and can be installed without worry on even an otherwise stock car. That being said, if you haven't gone to Solid subframe mounts yet there will be a huge difference in the quality of connection between the rear subframe and the chassis without much increase in Noise/Vibration/Harshness trade off.
