Panhard rod kit. Trust me youll want it. It keeps the axle from shifting side to side.

Well in addition to saleens suspention mods (shocks, struts, springs and sway bars), I have added upper/lower control arms. Those, coupled with nitto 555RIIs out back really allow you to feel the car "stick" to the road in the twisties.

what control arms did you get? and whats the difference between 555rs and 555rII's?

is your saleen engine built? or do you just run all that hp through the stock 2V block?

Some good springs and subframe connectors.

I haven't done any suspension mods to my Mustang yet, but my Camaro seemed to handle even better after I put on Strut Tower Brace. I could tell a big difference.

subframe connectors for sure, struts/shocks, control arms, sway bar, strut tower brace

how much welding do the subframes require?? enough that i should do it myself?? or are the tacked in place? or welded with a small bead as opposed to a bead on the entire frame rail?

The control arms are aluminum, whatever AMP performance sells, and yeah the engine is built. The 555Rs are considered a drag radial while the RIIs are a road race tire -very comparable in terms of tread pattern and performance (besides the "II", you cant tell the difference visually)
