Default Need help here

Hello guys I have $400 and I was thinking either buying the centerforce dual friction clutch or buying the relocation brackets for the LCA and the adj. panhard. What should I buy, which mod will I be more happy with? Which one do I need the most? Thanks

I would go with adjustable LCAs and UCL for more traction to go with your springs if you lowered the Mustang.

Are you planning to race a lot? If so, you definitely need a performance clutch.

Since you already have the springs I say go with the suspension pieces. You will need them anyway to recenter your rear axle and adjust your pinion angle. You don't "need" the clutch yet.

Correct you still need to finish the suspension. Without the panhard you might be out as much as an inch on the rear and traction is still not ideal yet as the LCAs are probably pointed down still.

The things is that I dont drag race a lot and I have 20" rims and I don't think the suspension will give me better traction thinking that the sidewall of the tire won't help me. I'm also planing on going with nitrous. Please correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks

Bad traction and nitrous is a bad idea. I'd do the suspension, the relocation brackets will give you a smoother ride by bringing the lca angle back to stock (parallel with the road) as well as help with traction. go back to the 17's for a free 10hp gain.
