    Stock "boxed" control arms with new bushings are probably better for a street car?

    Baseline 5.0L numbers totally stock, 123 rwhp, 239 rwtq
    5.4L swap coming soon.

        Also, as for the streetability, the panther is a body on frame, so it won't be as bad as the t-bird. I'd still stick with boxed and poly's for the street in most apps. I'm prolly going to go with poly on the frame side and hiem on the axle.

          :stupid: with the rear end designs that the fox and Panther cars shared it is a bad idea to run poly on both ends of the uppers

            Yeah, ONLY the lower arms should be boxed and poly'd. Uppers should get new rubber bushings only. Keeps the suspension from binding...
