      My 2 door has stock suspension except the rear springs, which are cargo coils.

      The Vic is all stock except the shocks, which are some monroe shit I think.

      yay!

        For springs and shocks. They also have rear control arms that might be able to be used on our cars. Gotta call them and take some measurements of the rear arms...too bad I do not have a apare set to measure...
        all you need to make lower control arms is a legnth of 1" heavywall tubing drilled at each end for Heims, and tabs welded on for the sway bar mount

            sorry but for $80 for 4 5/8" chrom-moly rod ends and $10 for some steel that just has to be cut drilled and tapped ill spend the 2 hours to do it my-self.

            5/8 might even be overkill for most people 3/4 might work unless you are putting down a massive amount of torque

                          Solid 25mm Addco rear anti-sway bar
                          Z&M tubular steel control arms

                          Thinking about a solid front anti-sway bar but I've heard that it's bad for launches. Yes, no?

                          Maybe the adjustable Naake coilovers and rear shocks when the stockers give up.

                            for drag you want to go with a small front bar. Alot of Mustang guys remove their front bar and only run a rear bar which sounds very unsafe and id never sdo it in a panther, but they say as long as you dont try to drive it hard in the corners it is fine.

                              Yeah, I'd not remove the fron't bar totally. I drove around with a busted endlink for a while, and it handled just horribly.

                                First of all, I hope this isn't a "box-only" forum, since I currently don't own any box bodies. That being said:


                                Cargo coils all around
                                KYB Gas-A-Justs all around
                                PI front bar(29.5 mm)

                                Have in posession but not installed yet:

                                HPP rear bar(21mm)
                                Both sides front upper & lower control arms with ENS poly bushings

                                Will be installing:

                                Greaseable poly ENS swaybar bushings front & rear
                                Poly endlink bushings rear
                                Rear upper/lower control arms and ENS poly bushings
                                stiffer springs/shocks
                                1993 GM LS 244K
                                29.5mm PI front bar, ENS greaseable bushings, 21mm rear bar, ENS bushings, endlinks. Black steelies, center caps. Stewart-Warner mechanical oil pressure guage. K&N filter
