Is that a swing arm rear end or are there upper control arms (doesn’t look like there is any place for upper control arms to attach to the hubs)? If it is a swing arm, then that seems like a huge waste of money to me. A proper solid axle design with a panhard bar will handle better than a horrible independent design like a swing arm. I guess it doens’t matter for a show car that’ll probably never really get driven, but then again, you could chrome a solid axle housing just as well and actually have decent handling to go along with the shine. :gotme:
I certainly approve of the engine choice, though… :tup:

Jag rear suspensions are designed that the 1/2 shafts are the upper control arms

Makes it even better! I love when builders get resourceful like that…is he going to run the electronic gauges (assuming the rdx is electronic…), or is it just the pods with some kind of aftermarket analog style gauge?
