Hi guys I have a tough time determining what my next mod will be.. to much to do.. too little money.


I am debating between:

a) panhard bar

b) intake

c) 275's with steeda ultra lite wheels ( obviously the most pricey)

the phb keeps the rear end from "wiggling" that is caused by the upper control arms binding. it is a mod that no real mustang should be without. the diff is night and day.

my stang is going on ebay today or tommorow---sad to see it go, but getting divorced, moving, changing jobs, alot going on right now and i just feel like starting fresh.

You have alot of suspension parts already, so I'd get the Panhard Bar and add to them.

no i sure didn't. my next mod was either an irs or 5-link.

i drove a 5-link car and was pretty impressed, but i have never driven a ta/phb car.

honestly if you have any plans of ever doing an irs--stop modding the solid axle now.

once you get into a phb your exhaust will rub. then your options are deal with the clanking pipes or dump it--both not such a good idea for a driver.

my whole reason with wanting the irs is better ride with same handling, better exhaust clearance, wider stance, but oh the $$$$.

if i had a track car i would not worry about it, but if its something you drive on regularity then....

I really want IRS, but the cost is too high imo to swap.. I would not install it myself either (i have no patience for working on my car anymore, always issuez). So you figure in about 600$ + labor + bilsteins.. its going to be somewhat pricey


i guess the new mustangs seem to be doing fine with sa
