I am just full of questions tonite hehe. I have heard alot of talk bout traction and not being able to plant horsepower, so i was wondering what the options were for me to fix this problem. I cant run slicks bc its a daily driver, but i have heard about the subfram connectors. Any recommendatios on good ones? also what else can i do to make my mustang plant the power to the road?

tration bars when is the last time you saw a mustang with traction bars. that is why you have a quadashock setup.


you can get control arms, different springs, different shocks, DRs,

subframes help to minimize body flex

well a few things
battery reloced to the right rear
upper/lower control arms
50/50 rear
70/30 front shocks
drag radials or the like
4 banger front spring
frame connectors
this is a good start and ride will not suffer much

oh an a 90/10 shock is an wreck waiting to happen on the street
