Default Looking to complete suspension...

K guys, this is basically a weekend/summer/fun/track car. Dont give a hoot about drivability (well it still needs to be able to go down the street just fine) so far for suspension i have 90/10's with UPR tubular k member and drag springs up front. IN the back i have eibach rear drag springs with 50/50 competition shocks. I have the BBK upper and lower control arms which in my opinion dont seem like the best.

I am looking into completeing my rear suspesion and i want the car to launch and hook up no matter what (down the road when i have more power) This is more of a drag orientated car, would a panhard bar/torque arm be recomended for helping the launch? other sujestions?

MJR has the panhard bar and says it really helps. Of course the torque arm would help too but panhard first. Do you have subframes?

no, i was going to buy subframes based on wether or not i do the torque arm, because i was goign to go with competition engineering. And you have to buy there subframes in order to moun there torque arm

so what would be the best way to go......do adjustable upper and lowers with a drag orientated antiroll bar. Or would it be better to go with a panhard bar, with torque arm and the likes?

i would go with the adjustable uppers and lower with the roll bar. you can run 9's with it. then disconnect the end links and drive on the street

i was reading there stuff, and it says that you need to have stock springs.....i just bought my eibach and dont really feel like selling them lol, Apparently if you use different then stock springs with the roll bar and stuff it will have an "unsafe" response on the road........

the wolf craft kit
For best performance we recommend the use of the stock Mustang GT springs. The use of different right and left springs will adversely affect the adjustment of the sway bar and create an unsafe condition. Also if you are running air bags in your springs we recommend that you remove them.

its under neath the instruction section for the anti roll bar
