Gents,
I already have purchased Mad Dogs GT steel reinforcement panels for the wheel well and surrounding area. I am seriously considering purchasing the Longs reinforcemen panels as well and “maybe” the trailing arm kit. Gents, what do I really need? It’s gonna be a street car for me but I don’t want to short change the build. The trailing arm reinforcement has been hotly debated here in the past. ANY input from people here with direct knowledge would really be appreciated. My car is at a Spot where now would be the time to do whatever I end up deciding. Power will be and LS1 with possibly a mild cam. 380-430 HP ish. Thank you very much, Brett |

I buy into the theory that the trailing arms bend before the chassis and they are cheap to replace. I would buy or make a suspension console reinforcement, like what tangerine racing has. It's not as much the HP as the wide tires that rip the pivots from the consoles. The Brad Mayer long kit is the one to get if you don't care about originality.
