    1970 Mustang Sway Bar Size?

    I know you are suppose to match 1" front with a 3/4" rear sway bar and a 1 1/8" front with a 7/8" rear sway bar. What would happen if you used a 1" front with a 7/8" rear? Anyone know?

    TCP Strut Rods too Rough?

    Should I have any concern of installing TCP's strut rods on my 1970 Mustang and the ride being to jarring? I have heard not to use urethane bushings on the stock strut rods and to use rubber. Any truth to this? If so, why and will the TCP's be rough as well?

    Negative Wedge Camber Kit

    I have a 1970 Mustang and have completed the "Shelby" drop. My question is if I should also install the negative wedge camber kit by Pro-Motorsports Engineering to help with the binding or the ball joint. Would the wedge kit be a good idea? Will it hurt or better the suspension geometry? Thanks.
