I've removed the quad shocks off every foxbody i've owned. If your upgrading the upper and lower control arms which you are.. You should be fine without the quads but worst case you get some wheel hop depending on your overal setup and power level. Worst case you'll have to upgrade upper control arms to adjustable ones and set pinion to what you need.

Ok guys so like I said I’m a novice, plus been busy but finally got everything in. I know right, that took forever!! So I know everyone said you need full weight of car on suspension, and even saw the put the car up on all 4 jack stands under the axles to mimic full weight before torquing. Seems like 60ft/lbs is the correct torque is this right. Also saw this vid via lmr. So around 5;25 they begin tightening everything, for the uppers and the axle side bolts for the lowers they jacked up the rearend to pre-load the suspension and tighten everything to 60ft/lbs, then they drop the car to the ground and torque the last two bolts of the lowers to 60. Is this technique ok?!

You should heed the warning above about suspension bind caused by too stiff of an upper bushing.


Do any of you guys have practical experience with that kit on the street? What's it like?

No experience, put rubber in mine as MM recommends not putting poly in uppers.

Idk I’m tempted to remove them for sure but now I’m not so sure. Just seems like everyone takes them off. Hey when you re mount the original sway bar do you know if you mount the bar on the inside of the arms tab or on the outside? Does it make a difference actually?

Doesn't really matter

He probably means inside the stock arms
