I have a friend that installed that steeda 5 link on his 95 stang and its a pain in the a**.The sway bar hits,you have to have custom tailpipes made.This kit is not worth the hassle.My buddy road races his car so i'm sure it help for that but for street riding not a good kit.Just my .02

^^that makes no sence. its for road racing so that means it would help, i think its because it makes the car ride bad.

I meant in a round about way that the kit works for road racing,but is a pain in the a** to install and keep adjusted.He had to redrill a steeda swaybar so it would clear the 5 link.Ya if the car is just a street car then why would someone buy the kit.

Ever drive a hardcore road racing car on the street for long? Heh.
Now, if the car isn't a daily driver, but sheesh. I have driven cars on the track that chased other cars down through corners while the other car had a tire in the air. It would bust your kidneys pretty good when hitting seams in the highway pavement. Unless you are driving with slicks on the street, the suspension is probably a little too stiff to be safe.

the reason it is listed as not streetable is that you have to mod the exhaust or run dumps which in many places is not street legal. Steeda claims that it is a bolt in kit but like any bolt in suspension your specific car will need slight mods to get it to fit
