Front Coil Overs and Rear Traditional Springs within a Maximum Motorsports K-Member Kit

[2000xp8]

The torque arm is unlikely to scrape.
Pretty much at no point is it lower than the mufflers.
Near the center of the car it's above where my x pipe meets the headers and in the rear you would need to drive over something about 8 inches high in just the center of the car, because if even one wheel goes up, it gains more clearance.
My car is low and i drive into multiple odd driveways, there are zero scrape marks on it.

If one of my kids were to get a fox, first thing they are doing is the torque arm and PHB or a watts link.
I consider these parts to be safety devices, more so with young stupid drivers.
I'd even bet if they were on all models with this chassis, there would be less of them in the junkyard.

LOL. Fair. Maybe a torque arm is in the future. For now I'm happy with my panhard bar and losing 30+ pounds up front via the pending k-member and coil overs.

Found an old article from 2011 on this subject with H&R spring rates.

I’m pretty sure that’s where I got my numbers for my rear setup.

Thinking about this for the last two days....I think I'll go ahead and purchase everything, install it and then assess if the rear is too loose with the 200-300 lb/in. Ford Motorsport B Springs. If so, it would be a very easy LCA and H&R SS spring swap out. My concern is I won't know how the front 275 lb/in. coil overs feel with my existing rear set up until after they're installed. I do believe the rear springs are a little on the soft side, but that may be alright.
