I have a 92 mustang that I ripped the rear torque boxes out of, they were so bad that I almost had to cut the car in half. After talking to many poeple they all told me that It would never hook up right ever again. I bought my car to a guy here in my home town and all he does is suspension. He made me brand new torque boxes and now the car hooks at 2000 rpm dump on street tires, keep in mind that I put down 365 at the wheels. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you all think.

I had to have the same done.
Cost me $1100. I tore one arm almost completely off.

Lessen learned, southside bars are NOT for the street.

Well it didnt cost to much, I paided 600 for it all and it hooks sweet. It was well worth the investment. He also did a little extra to the upper control arm boxes, nothing a little 1/8 steel cant fix.

NO I have no measurments at all, I did nothing on this project of my car, I had a local badass shop do it. But I guess all he did was measure were the boxes were orignally and then he tore the old ones out in one piece and made a repilca of them and welded them right back in place and then fully welded them in and braced them.
