Make my Jag rear stronger? Help-Ideas-Advice

[RICK LAKE]

mickmate The are just standard shoulder cheap bolts. They snap at the end of the threads where the machine leaves a thin area. I only use my watts for 1/4 mile games. In autocross and roadracing the bars stay off the car. It makes the rearend looser but allows it to drift with my way of driving better. I don't have all the wheel and tire hop that some of the other guys are having. I leave at a lower rpm, slip the clutch a little and not get alot of tire spin or hopping. I like the power to the ground, not up in smoke. I don't have any binding of the watt's, it's just cheap bolts. You can get shoulder bolts that work perfect at Homedepot's or Lowes. I carry a couple of spare sets, just in case. They break from the shock of the drivetrain and wheel hop in 1/4 mile. The car is getting better with handling, however the driver is way past prime and having large b@!!s to push the car to the edge. Too much money invested in it to for silly play also. Rick L

Mickmate,
Hi, thanks for you direction for lower control arms, the one george petrus makes looks like it. However I cannot find him. His emails come back, fax doesnt work, and on and off his number doesnt ring, and when it does I leave detailed messages and no return calls, maybe on vacation?
I have seen over the years other steel tubular control arms with welded X brace and four adjustable heim joint to make fine adjustments.
I cant seem to find anything. I really want to build this car with some strong rear suspension for hard driving. This car is the second gen with factory watts linkage and coil over front. I have also decided to definatly sell the torsion bar frame, suspension, body, windshield etc. Hopefully will finance some cool parts for my car.
Any help would be great.
You seem to be the go to guy
Thanks
Daniel
