Mustangs are not setup for drifting. Mustangs, as with any car, can be made to drift. I believe MM&FF had a car from........I can't think of the company.....set-up for drifting. Start looking there for a kit if you are serious about drifting the car.

A steeda rep told me that the 5 Link 2 setup will make a mustang driftworthy.

First of all, the rep was from steeda.ca and knew that I wasn't going to be buying anything from them (Why pay shipping from Canada) ... Furthermore, this guy has the set up on his own personal car. Finally, I've found that everything that I've bought through steeda was pretty accurate. So I would say, yeah, this wasn't just sales BS. I'm pretty confident that when I get it in my car, i'll be able to back up the claim.

no im sure you will, i dont doubt that steeda is reputable, but i the point was that no one is gonna talk down on something they sell, wether or not it will actually do the job

i think you will have no body roll at all atleast. i would just go try it out and see if it handles good drifting (parking lots). then do competition if you think your ready.

That is certainly a decent setup and should be worth experimenting with but a MM torque arm/pan hard bar or the steeda 5 link 2 set up appear to be the finishing touch.
