Ok...what does everyone think of this setup ? My only concern with it is the fact that there isnt much side-to-side control other than the air shocks. Im sure I could always adapt a panhard bar setup for more control...but I thought Id post up and get everyones opinion...

Any reason for spending ~$1k more for the air ride system, over getting a regular 4 link?

 

Truthfully I am still debating it...but I really like the in-car adjustability.

 

i'm with you with the in car adjustability, The entire kit front and rear is insane and priced insane. I love it, was thinking of doing it myself

 

Insane as in good or insane as in bad ?

 

The side to side movement of the rear end is taken care of by the smaller rubber bushed ended rods. This system is referred to as an angled 4 bar. You have to weld the 4 brackets (centered in the picture with the hole in them) onto your rear end. Then the shot rods are attach to brackets that are already welded onto the bottom of the flat bar that is right about the brackets (you can barely see a part of these welded brackets if you look close) . Many modern cars come with this type of rear end locating system. The shocks provide no side to side alignment.

 

Thanks for the tid-bit of info...now does anybody know if this kit will work with a mini-tub and some wide wheels/tires ?

 

The two 'L' shaped brackets that are attached to the long round tube (with Air Bar decal on it) mount to the Mustangs subframe that is directly above the rear axle with a U-bolt that is not pictured. Because of it mounting there you can not remove the frame from the car in that area. The long bars with bushings on each end mount to the stock leaf spring's front mount and locate the rear end axle. You can not move these without a tremendous amount of work. These bars limit the size of rear tires that you can run. They offer you a little bit more width than the stock leaf springs would but not much. I guess it all depends on how wide of tire you want to go with and how much work you want to do. Check out www.totalcontrolproducts.com for an idea of what their air bar looks like when assembled. The total contro product is very similiar and uses a coil over or an air bag.

 

Im gonna try for a 305 size tire...I dont think thats totally un-realistic. Ill have to see when I get in there. Thanks for the info and links.

 

You could probably do a 325 with that if it were a 67 or up with that lower bar.
Seems like a lot of binding with all those poly mounts. No worse than leafs I suppose
