I am currently in the process of building over a 1000hp street car with a 94 cobra body. I am trying to find the best route to go on the rear suspension to be able to hook up with. This will not be a drag car but may see the track once or twice since I won't have the cage certified. I am looking at either doing mini tubs or back halving the car. Which route would be better? Why? And what type of suspension components would you recommend? I am a little hesitant of using the factory 4 link setup. I don't want to rip the mounts off the body and I don't want to use the bolt in reinforcements on the body. ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd use team Z stock suspension parts and weld the factory boxes in, with the plates. There is no need to do a back halved street car.

There are forum sponsors that make EXCELLENT bolt in suspension and offer it to Stangnet members at a discount. Check it out!

That said, I wouldn't backhalf it, and it's not even necessary to mini-tub it. You can easily fit a 28x10.5 in the stock wheelwell of an SN95, and that tire with good quality control arms (tubular chrome-moly, spherical bearings) and a good anti roll bar will easily handle 1000hp. Been there, done that!!
