I had solid lowers on my 86 and ajustable uppers. I was able to set the pinion angle with the adjustable uppers. Only problem with the solid lowers is they will bind some going around corners. They will work for daily driving but really reduce some streetability.

really as far as it being a dd... its basically gonna be a "race car" i drive everyday... i mean i want streetability, but track performance is 1st on the list... i wouldnt call the plans "street/strip" id call it "track car that sees street usage" lol... if i want something to corner w. then maybe eventually ill get another stang and mod it for that(LOOONNNNGGG time from now, but still). and thanks both of ya.
