That's why I did the suspension first. Before I put any kind of power into this car I want it to be able to handle it...

You guys took the words out of my mouth.  No point in putting 200 horses to the ground if you can't keep them there, right?

Hah!  I'd be happy if my car put down 100 at the wheels.  It's probably more like 75.

! If you decide to use the quads, Mustang shocks are identical. You have to use the T-Bird brackets since the framerails are different back there vs. the Mustang.



Hmm the mustang ones were shorter then my 87 t/c quads.

:D  Mmmm 400....

I certainly know about those suspension issues.  I've got the CHE's and a slightly stiffened front, plus some SFC.  What a word of difference from stock...
Willpower is no match for Horsepower.
