    I am seriously considering this system and thought I would get some opinions.

    This would require the ability to fit the early mustang sub-frame connectors and cross-brace system. From another post, I've read that the Chassis Engineering Mustang bolt-in sfc's have been used but with shims. Does that make this system possible?

    Any thoughts?

    I have the instruction manual if you are interested in seeing it.

    Why you may ask? After the recent trip to Florida and Cruisin' the Coast, I decided that my current suspension setup is no longer road worthy. Its WAY to ruff and in some cases considered dangerous. The rear springs are almost non-existent when hitting bumps and dips. I'd like to retain ride height and pick up modern cornering and traction capabilities without having to cut up the back seat area. This eliminates tri-4bar, 4-bar, and 3-link systems.

    That's just like the '82-'02 Camaro/Firebird setup, which I really, really like. It would be fantastic if you got that to work! Rear suspension is my biggest complaint on these cars. I shudder to think what that costs though...
