[QUOTE="1995COBRA-R, post: 10519817, member: 9515"] You gotta like a guy that is modifying a $80K car! :burnout: Why not just use this to lower the front a bit? I didn't know this also worked on a S197. I used these on my 1994 Cobra. In 1997, I lowered it (springs), installed the off-set steering rack bushings, MM camber-plates, set the camber/caster and toe (I liked 1/16" of toe-in), roll-bar, harness, 95R wheels, headers, and bought some Hoosier tires. Then took it to Sebring: [ATTACH=full]166302[/ATTACH] It won a few trophies. Nice. Tom, Don't you need to "open up" the upper mount with a die-grinder? It already does that. :-D R, That looks like a toe-out situation to me. The LF looks straight. The RF looks toe'd out. I can make some detailed pictures of my garage alignment system if you like. R., The panhard is behind the rear axle. The rear stuff looks good to go to me. Here is a picture of the panhard bar on my 2011 car (the panhard is in front of the rear sway bar): [ATTACH=full]166305[/ATTACH] Another thing, Robert. You should be very sure that the mechanic at the Ford dealer knows about modifications and how to adjust the settings from stock to modified. Even I have helped people straighten out mistakes done at high cost from someone who didn't know what they are doing. Once my cars had more complicated modifications and more speed, I handed over the car to Gary Jones. Now, when he sees me with a wrench in my hand, he says: "Please step away from your car with that wrench. You are not allowed to work on it". :-D [url=http://www.garyjonesmotorsports.net/]Gary Jones Motorsports, Inc | Vintage Mustang Specialist | Augusta, GA Motorsports Facility - Gary Jones Motorsports | Augusta, GA | Vintage Mustang Specialist[/url] Check out the 95R cars FS. And don't argue with him until you have four Rolex Championship racing watches. ;-) [/QUOTE]
