Road course vs drag race
One thing I have noticed though.....
I know the stock rate springs don't help but it seems like the back right corner compresses alot more/easier than the left rear of the car. I am assuming the design of the pan hard bar....

Yes... the PHB will indeed introduce the latteral forces differently on each side. Seems to me, that my car makes a better LH turn, than right. This is where the WL has a real advantage over the PHB. It also has an adjustable RC, where the PHB has no such adjustment.

You said you had the Griggs SLA also...what all did the kit come with??

Don't really see it as a "kit", but rather a mod to an already spectacular suspension system
All it does is maintain a consistant camber throughout the compression of front suspension. As you know, if you lower the Mustang, you will get some negative camber, but is not infinite. Once you go beyond a certain point, the wheel achieves POSITIVE camber. This is where the car looses its front end grip and especially on hard cornering. When you add body-roll to the equasion, the situation only gets worse. The SLA uses a set of twin "A" arms to pull the wheel inward faster than the compression of the springs, so that one maintains negative camber to hold a MUCH better grip on the road. Due to a relocation of the upper shock mount, I am also able to run a set of 10" wheels up front with a 295 tire.
I like to say, my control arms are the opposite of your average pre-S197 Mustang. I have both upper and lower control arms up front, where I only have lower control arms out back

.......I asked what was in the kit because of it being as cheap as it is compared to Agent 47's SLA setup..... I know Griggs' is intertwined into their K member as well but I was curious if the struts come with it as well or if there are more pieces that need to be purchased as well.....
OK.... I know it will require their lower "A" arms, but cannot say for positive that one needs a Griggs "K". I am sure, if one were creative, he/she could make it work on other stuff, but installing anything other than a Griggs front sway-bar, would be a PITA for sure.
My guess is the Agent47 is a more "universal" install, but certainly introduces some issues of it's own, I'm sure.
