RE: burn-outs

FIrst off, if your going to the right, it would be due to the fact that mustangs come from factory with their rear-end uncentered. So an adj panhard bar would help this to re-centre, but it wont be 100% becuase of the differential we have...but it def will help.

As for the wheel hop, get your self a set of lower control arms. The relocation brackets are not NECESSARY, but I would suggest them. I did a bunch of rear suspension work; adj pHB, LCA, UCA, relocation backets, etc, etc and now, it burns the tires straight and the wheel hop is gone...I am VERY happy with the rear-end now.

Lemme know if you need anthing else!

Whenever l do a burn-ot, the rear end always slides over to the right! What do l need to correct this to a straight line and stop the sometimes wheel-hop? also.... what is the largest-safest tire to mount on my stock 18 x 8.5 fanblades?

LCAs with stiffer bushings (poly)or poly/rod end LCAs.

For 18 x 8.5, 255/45's are the limit as far as tire mfr/Tire & Rim Associationacceptability goes, and in cases like thiswhere rear end tracking is already a problem I wouldn't want to give up lateral stability (read: ease in catching it when it does step out) by going any wider on the tire than what's approved.
