Thats odd cause i know alot of mustang guys run them and they’ve nothing but good things to say about them? I thought about getting them also but the only reason i didnt is cause i got a little better deal on something else and i also went alittle wider. I do like how the tread looks though.

Well, it was nice out when I got home from work so I started replacing everything on the rear end in preparation for the swap. Only got the shocks done before it got dark. They’re a HELL of an improvement over what I had, I think these were put on the car when it had 30k :eek4dance

Also found out my stock stamped panhard rod is BENT! About 2/3rds of the way up it’s bent horizontally about 5 inches in! That can’t be good. Hopefully don’t have any issues installing the new one. Ordered new hardware for it and my LCA’s from Spohn tonight. Should make for a weekend project.

Anyone good with double flaring brake line and all that stuff? I’m going to need to do this: [http://www.thirdgen.org/propvalve](http://www.thirdgen.org/propvalve) before I do the rear, and I don’t trust myself to do it, so I’m going to need help with that.

Just Monroe Sensatrac gas charged ones. From what I’ve heard form a few people I’ve talked to, I think I’ll be moving up to Tokico Illumina’s. But that’s much later down the line.

Today I planned on replacing the Panhard rod, and the LCA’s. Got the Panhard done and when I went to do the LCA’s the bolts were seized up so bad that they were about to break. I still haven’t gotten my new hardware in the mail so that’s put on hold. Here’s some pic’s from the Panhard install. Out with the old, in with the new, eh?

God I can’t wait to see that new rear-end in there.

Not ever. I’d like to do a 1" drop all around like you, but it just won’t ever happen. I wouldn’t be able to get out of my driveway.

Got the LCA’s in. Ordered everything else I’m going to need for the rear end. The only things I’m not sure on is everything I’m going to need to swap to disk brakes in the back. I’m doing some research on that.
