Wild Rides S Box

Bradleyrj · 11-25-2008, 10:52 PM

Anyone used one? I am going to be needing to replace the upper arm mounts on my car because the douche who had it before me decided the stock ones werent good enough. He rigged some half assed angle thing with a bolt through it for a upper control arm mount. Frankly I dont trust the parts nor the craftsmanship of how it is now. I have looked around on the net at tech articles about them but wanted to talk to someone who had some first hand experience.

Thanks
Brad

What I cut out..

NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES do chassis work on a wrecked car that was not fixed properly!!!

I had to fix A LOT of stuff to even get the S-box in straight and lined up.

Also got the rear back in with the new Maximum Motorsports lowers, double adjustable uppers and Strange 10 way shocks. I have an Anti Roll bar to go on as well but ran out of gas in the borrowed welder so that will have to wait till I can borrow it again. Also going to do the lower torque box reinforcements when I can borrow the welder again.

Yup, that is how my car is. It is double adjustable coil overs...

Yes. A few companies make kits to place the coil over in the stock shock location or you can add the extra bar and brackets to the rear and run pretty much any coil over set up ever made.
