Might want to look at Jakes Speed Shop and Speed Tech. They have some new stuff out that sounds to be pretty good.

Just a thought.

Well, when you buy from a manufacturer your always buying the best. Call any manufaturer and they will sell you their product. We do not sell "the best" we sell the best for the customer. That is why we carry multiple suspension lines. Our own Prodigy Bar, or the G Link in this case IS NOT best for you. Rod end style suspensions will wear the ends. Not overnight, but they will wear the ends in daily grimne situations.

As I said I have not tested the Torque Arms yet (I do have one being built though), so I cannot speak on them right now.

If you daily driving I would suggest a G Bar with urethane bushings. The urethane end G bar is very duarble, rides great, and makes for a great autocross and drag race suspension. You would not be disappointed. And cost is only $1750 untill Monday. Then we see a pricing increase from Chris Alston and Air Ride (makers of the G Bar)

co-signed... i see so many post of people ask whats the best anything and if i respond it ususally consists of "there is no end all be all best product, only product that best suit YOUR needs" i especially let that be know when people ask what the "best" shocks...

Sounds like a call is best. My number and schedule are in my signiture. But no Panhard is required on the G Bar. And we now have pre made tailpipes solving that issue to.
