[QUOTE="Jack Hidley, post: 9997226, member: 17703"] Mike, Assuming that you have swapped an IRS into the car, the easiest thing to do is start off with a kit such as the one below and make changes to it. [url=http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_68&products_id=1343]2003-04 Mustang Cobra Maximum Grip Box [GB-11] : Maximum Motorsports, the Latemodel Mustang Performance Suspension Leader![/url] In your case, we would change the STB to an MMSTB-8 since you have a Whipple on the car, remove the c/c plates and subframe connectors since you already have them. Add the appropriate struts and shocks to the kit. In your case, I would add higher strength inner tie rods for the IRS due to the power level of the engine. Under high acceleration, the rear toe will change some from the flexing in the inner stock tie rods. The IRS parts in this kit will fix all of the issues in the rear end. The k-member, FCAs and c/c plates in the front will fix the geometry in the front allowing you to run the car with a lower overall ride height and give the car good ride quality, with excellent handling. Assuming that you still have a solid axle in the rear, the kit that you linked in your first post is a good starting point, but it would need some changes also. Whatever you do, don't install a k-member, FCA, etc with revised suspension geometry in the front and leave the rear suspension stock. With the amount of power your car has, the result would be an oversteering nightmare. [/QUOTE]
