Heya guys i am planning my next few mods already lol. I am thinking of some SFC for the car, to stiffen the car up. And some nice square tube control arms.

blueovalindustries sells both, SFCs and the control arm kits. they look great and are priced right I dont see anything wrong with using them.

anways, when i get them on, will the ar be capable of better 60's? I think a good 1.7 would really be nice.. exactly what changes will i feel driving the car and what will be most noticable at the track?

you should build your own sfc's its gonna be a lot cheaper and you could also box your stock uppers. just an idea.

that way you can practice welding, because I think you mentioned going to school for welding. It will also save you some money towards some other goodies for your car.

i think that would work. i have the round-tube SFCs and the tube is straight.

I know I sound like a broken record, but you should really read this site: http://www.miracerros.com/mustang/t_suspension.htm It will help you understand a lot of the basics about the Fox suspension setup

Look for full lenght SFC's as mentioned. Have them welded with the tires loaded using a drive up ramp. I never tried making my own...
