What are peoples experiences with adjustable upper control arms in the rear end. How have they improved/affected launch and handling? How many of you guys have strengthened the mounting points for them?

They allow you to change the pinion angle on your diff, lowering the pinion angle will force the tyre to the road harder under take off and is great as a tuning aid at the strip and to get better traction in wet conditions. I have remade all the 4 bar mounts coz they all have ripped clean off the diff and floor on several ocasions

I have remade all the 4 bar mounts coz they all have ripped clean off the diff and floor on several ocasions Apparently HSVSS recently done the same thing (ripped the upper traling arm mounts off) under a hard launch.HSVSUX - If you wouldnt mind id be interested to know what you done after ripping yours off to make them stronger so it wouldnt happen again. Thanks.
