I don't have any suspension work done on my vert yet except for lowered springs and Lakewood 50/50 shocks...everything else is the stock original stuff.

How much would my 60' times benefit from subframes at this point? I do have a roll cage that stiffens it up a bit.

So far my 60' averages mid 1.6 with the best of 1.57.

Thanks

it will help the body from twisting

Do you think it's twisting that much even now that I have a roll cage?

Subframes made a noticeable difference on my vert when I added them last year. Don't know if they will help straight line performance, but a torque arm will, and you will need subframes for a TA/PB setup.

Thanks for the reply...what is a TA/PB setup? I've never heard of that.

Personally, I don't think you're going to see squat from a set of sub-frames, as long as the cage is doing it's job...and I think it is.

Exactly what I needed to hear...thanks John.

I would do the sub frames

I wouldn't do a torque arm.

Some good controls arms, spherical bearing kind, and an anti-roll bar.

control arms are next on the list...
