four link setup

[351w_swap]

I have been looking at the art morrison setup for a four link but I want to see what you guys think of it. Has anyone put on in their mustang? If anyone has any suggestions on other four link setups or pictures of theirs, please post them. I am not sure what coilover setup to go with yet either but I kind of have the Qa1 setup in summit or this:

What spring should I go with, all of the kits want an idea of what kind of springs to use but I don't know whether I should go with something like 130# springs or something heavier. Thanks for any advise.

I am probably going to buy the four link and the coilovers separate so that ebay kit will be just the suspension. After looking at the art morrison fourlink, i am not sure if that is the way I want to go, I really want the competition engineering setup. What kit are you going with that is 1500 dollars?

I have their front suspension....if their 4bar setup is half as good....i will be satisfied.

Anyone ever consider a 4 link set up from air ride technologies?

They also make a bolt in front shock / spring.

isnt the air ride kit a little over $2000 and you need an air compressor to adjust the bladders?

Don't know, just wondering if anyone else had done any research or used it.

I was thinking about looking into it for a future street build... I should probably start another thread, sorry for the OT... winter boredom...

I think all car fan is right. They are expensive and you do need an onboard compressor to adjust the setup. So that adds another thousand to the price.

I have another question now. Is the diagonal link or panhard bar better for road racing? Which is better for drag? I want to have something worthy of road tracks but still streetable. I really want something with awesome handling (anything will be an approvement over stock). It is important that the power gets transferred to the ground as well as no street problems. I am going to go with stock style frame rails but as I get deeper into the project I keep adding more things to the to do list. I think I am going to end up replacing framerails, and all the sheetmetal in the trunk compartment except the inner wheel housings which I finished building yesterday.

I cut out the stock inner wheel wells on wednesday and last night I tig'd a 2 1/4 inch strip to the lip. I wasnt going to replace the outers but someone in the past hacked them together and there is a gap between the quarter and the wells big enough to put my fingers through so I guess those will come out too. I don't want to ruin the paint on the car so I guess I will tig the lips together and then roll them.

Thanks

You can cap off the air shocks with the air ride set up, thats what i was going to do. But ditched the set up because of my tire would have rubbed
