Default Driftin???

OK Kinda Weird Subject, lol but what all would be Nessisary to get rid of this terrible body roll? i did what sleeper said and revved it and WOW.... and i know my shocks are bad too so that doesn't help much..... what mods are there to make our stangs a lil bit stiffer?

Better springs, roll cage (or sub frame connectors) better shocks/struts, better sway bar, GT rear sway bar, there are loads of things you can do

the rear is a 3 link and does have springs, it would have to. use an extra heavy sway bar up front, a mild in the rear, adjustable shocks, (mabey a coil over system would be better). and a Limited Slip Differential. be careful not to burn out your clutch (manual) or strip your bands, gears, or whatever else (automatic tranny)

You need a lot more than some springs, shocks, struts and subframe connectors to be successful at drifting.

Youd need rear control arms, panhard bar, a good locking differential, as much chassis bracing as possible, camber/caster plates, the entire package.

no, these cars arent a true 4 link. on a 4 link there are two bars that connect the axel to the chassis, on ours there is only one bar with the spring on top of it making it a 3 link. take a look under it.

I'll take a picture tomorrow and show you all its a 4 link. Infact go and look at the rear end on your car and there is 4 links. 2 at each end under the axle tubes and 2 on the upper part of the pumpkin
