My old car had welded shocks, I've still got them left over from last project so know how they drive, not ideal for road but worked on strip ok.
Secondly, standard rods can run 300bhp, and Iam using ST170 rods which are stronger still. I only intend to run about 300bhp which I am sure will see me in a low-mid 12.
Stage 2 will be steel rods
