From my reading of the suspension guide and info on MM, a panhard and TA would help considerably on launches

Then why dont i see many people, if any running them? Why are all the companies like upr, racecraft, team z that specialize more in drag suspension not offering them?

^ this is a good question!

I don't know it either and have researched it quite a bit. I know that Griggs Racing has their TA on an 8 second car, but I have to give way to those that build/design launch-rockets for a living. I look at it this way...

A spectacular corner-carver Mustang will be OK at the Christmas tree
A spectacular 1/4 mile car will be absolutely horrible at twisties

I absolutely agree with Jazzer on his last comment!!!
Depending entirely on what you want your car to do, street only, drag only, autoX only, or a car that is fun to drive under all of those conditions.

A car that is built specifically for drag stirp usage, will be misserable on a twisty road. Although it won't be fully optimized for drag use, a car set up to handle well can still make decent passes at the strip.

You can look at my sig to see my set-up.
With only around 280rwhp, very short sidewall DRs, and absolutely NO CLUTCH SLIPPING launches, I was able to cut 60' times in the 1.7XX's.

This same car on my regular street tires (Nitto555), ran lap after lap on a fairly tight road course with a Miata that had boost and track tires. Owner of the Miata was very impressed with our pace together.

I am currently giving serious consideration to adding the MM TA to my set-up because I believe it will improve my performance in all envirnoments I use my car in.

Thank you everyone for all the info. Sorry about the street racing comment. I honestley have never partaken in one, was just trying to explain set up i wanted. I understand how foolish and dangerous street racing is. Thank you everyone again for all the godo tips!
