Rear Subframe Question

[LocknessMonster]

I'm in the process of redoing my whole rear suspension. I have the jays racing rear toe eliminators, ingalls control arms, working on the lower adjustable, all new bushings, extended studs etc. My question is can I eliminate the Eccentric bolts and there corresponding rings and weld machined washers centered in there place? Then I would use heavy duty bolts to take place of the eccentric bolts. All of the adjust-ability would be coming from the new parts and not the sub frame it self.

Ditch the ingal control arms for the 3sx ones. The ingalls have been known to break.

As far as ditching the eccentric bolts, I'd keep it the way it came factory and just do your upgrades.

Interesting about the ingal control arms, did they break in a road course or drag racing? Looking at the sub frame theres only like .500 of room on either side of the bolt if I welded it dead center. The only reason I'm looking to do this is that the rings and bolts that are on the sub frame are rusting off and I figured the suspension pieces could be adjusted.

If you have a rusted up rear subframe I got a decent condition one sitting at my garage I'd sell for pretty cheap. Toss me a PM IF interested.

Also, those ingalls breaking Im not sure what racing condition they were under. If memory serves me right though I think it was a street car. But I could be wrong.
