[QUOTE="jdt1970, post: 15629685, member: 185386"] Hi Ray, You will more than likely need lca relocation brackets once you lower the car. You will also need an adjustable panhard bar or upgrade to watts link (if you have a non-adjustable panhard the lowering will shift the axle). Before you decide on the UCA I would look at a torque arm. CorteX Racing and Griggs are the big players in torque arms but there are others out there. I have been f----ng with my UCA for about a year and I am still not happy. The CorteX torque arm is bolt on and the Griggs required a minor amount of welding. They both replace the UCA all together and solve the axle rotation problem much more efficiently since they move that energy to the middle of the car. It will cost you about a grand but it seems to me to be a much more elegant solution if you plan on upping the horsepower. I just did the VMP 820hp kit and now I am reassessing my previous suspension choices that were very similar to what you are planning. Either way you will probably end up relocating those LCA. I would recommend poking around on the Griggs and CorteX websites before you make any decisions. They both have engineered entire suspension systems for the mustang platforms over the years and test them on the track regularly. Once you see you their entire suspension system works and why then you can make better decisions even if you get the parts else where. I have wasted some money and others have wasted more just trying to find a part here and there that fit the bill for my current goal without understanding where the car needed to be long term. It sounds like you are already doing that. I hope you find something helpful in all of that. Best of luck to you. [/QUOTE]
