how do you increase the steering angle that your wheels can turn since sn95 mustangs (94-04) are so **** poor.

I assume you mean turning radius? You would have to change out the control arms. FRPP sells '03 Cobra A arms which reduces your tunring radius by 20% or somewhere around there. You could also spend more and get a tubular setup. Either way, you are going to have to do some modding on the front suspension.

I'm guessing some sort of custom fabrication of your steering rack may also cut the mustard. I'm just guessing with that though, I know that one of the reasons my old E30 had such a great steering angle was due to the steering rack. 4 turns lock to lock was a bit rediculous but it meant that car could almost rotate on a center axis.

Not sure how you would do this on a Mustang but shortening the steering arms will give you more angle for the same amount of rack input.
