[QUOTE="wheelhopper, post: 7524183, member: 32430"] If you have never tried OT before try it like it is first. You already have a better set up than stock to try out, and if you're new your car is probably more capable than you are right now. As far as your sway bars, most Mustang drivers leave the sway bars alone. If anything maybe use a larger rear bar. The front bars are pretty beefy from the factory. No matter what you don't have to change the struts/shocks when changing sway bars. I would simply leave it alone for now. The Mach 1 rear will fit in the '96 Cobra. It is wider though, and you would have to switch to wheels with a different backspacing. Not sure why you would want to switch. The factory rear is just fine. I would definitely switch to a 3.73 gear. Those 4.10 are for drag racing. Make sure you fix that pinion leak. I don't want to get on track after you have dripping fluid everywhere. Might as well change the control arms while your messing with the rear. Only do the lower arms. Any brand will do IMO. If want to do the uppers, use the Steedas. They basically box the factory arm. The reason for doing just the lower is to avoid suspension bind in the upper arms. This can happen with stiffer/smaller bushings in the upper control arms. [/QUOTE]
