Rear suspension thoughts

I am looking to get some cool race car suspension parts so my car can leave like that LS1 powered maglev train...

Underside of my car..


UMI and BMR options would be a long style arm and new trans X member, which is lame and more money.

Midwest Chassis offers a chassis mount that they claim will clear.. pics below..


Sent a PM to MWC asking for some more pics, but I am thinking their short arm is the best option. Costs 375 shipped I believe.

Thoughts?

Just get a full length TA and a UMI drag bar with adjustable end links. If your hopes and dreams come true, and you do the turbo build, a full length will benefit you more.

and get red suspension parts

Reading is fundamental?

A UMI or similar will def not clear my X pipe.

Edit: *** it, the cross member piece may have exhaust pipe sitting on it, do not care.

10# sledge shall edit exhaust.

Use a rosebud torch and a hammer and dolly. Will look significantly less hack. That's how I did it.

Yeah, that's what he is really concerned about, making it not look like a hack job.
