  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    What brand are you using and are they worth the cost?

    TRZ are probably considered the best. They are light and well made. There are some other brands out there that are good as well and some are a little beefier if a lot of street driving is your thing.

    Shaves about 20ish pounds off the car, and much added caster for better straight line tracking and stability

    Tom has what you need and they are priced right.
    You can run either spring style with his. Stock or coilover down the road by adding their cups. We started out w stock style on our 69 then switched to coilover when we put them on the 72.

    The TRZ are a great choice for a track car,...and light street use imo,..I prefer the Global West for dual purpose applications,..The TLC series has no sway bar provision where as the street series does,..you will not find a better built US made arm for the money imo
