STAGE ONE STREET PERFORMANCE AND MILD BRACKET CARS Our first stage is our entry level stage intended for those looking to get more performance from their street machine that may see some track time occasionally as a mild bracket racer. In this stage, horsepower levels are stock or slightly modified. All of the equipment can be easily installed with simple hand tools. No welding is required. All of the bolt-on equipment included in Stage I is intended to strengthen the chassis, suspension, body and drivetrain. By making the car more rigid, power is transferred directly to the wheels for improved traction. To control wheel hop on older cars with leaf or coil springs, Competition Engineering offers Bolt-On Traction Bars. These bars limit rear housing rotation, thereby eliminating wheel hop and improving rear wheel traction. For better handling and improved traction in rear coil spring equipped street cars, we offer Tubular Rear Control Arms. These rugged control arms are direct replacements for flimsy stock units, and serve to strengthen the suspension for quick launches and stable cornering. The Mustang and GM A&G Body versions have three adjustment settings to suit changing track conditions. Additional components for this stage include Competition Engineering’s Solid Aluminum Body Mounts that help eliminate chassis twist, and Solid Motor Mounts and Transmission Mounts to keep the engine from wasting torque by twisting in the chassis. For uni-body cars, Bolt-On Subframe Connectors create a rigid structure for direct transmission of power. Back Next
