Default revised suspension setup

ok after alot of people told me to re-think my suspension setup, i have decided to go with
the Team Z Strip Series 1 Complete Rear End Kit. has anyone used it on their mustang? i am also gonna go with strange struts/shocks. the team z kit comes with Series Team Z Motorsports Strip-Series adjustable upper control arms with relocation bracket, spherical bushings, single adjustable lower control arms, and our anti-roll bar. my only question is, is it worth it to relocate the upper control arms?

WL is not the best investment for a launch-pad ride and only addresses lateral movement of axle anyway. This is not a bad thing, but lots of $$$ and some added weight when other options are better. If looking for ONLY 1/4 mile performance, the TeamZ relocation is gonna be the direction better suited for these needs.

Beyond this, my quarter knowledge is VERY limited, as I focus on quarner knowledge

Yes relocated UCAs for drag racing. If you aren't concern with drag racing listen to what Jazzer has to say, he knows his stuff.

I have the team z setup, no road test yet waiting to get my rear back from the builder. But I had a lengthy conversation with dave zimmerman over at Team z and he explained the new suspension geometry from the relocated uppers greatly increases traction for a vehicle with under 800 horsepower. I have the same setup except I got double adjustable lowers and no ARB. When you drive on the street make sure you have a link disconnected on that ARB.
