    New owner, couple questions

    what are everyones opinions on the P versus K springs. Are the Ksprings really that much more aggressive? This will be used for a primarily street car with maybe one track day per year. Also, I will be needing new upper strut mounts and dampers with these springs, correct?

    what about going with a company like eibach or H&R for the springs. I see that americanmuscle has a sale for 219 for eibachs, which isn't a bad price at all.

    Rear-end

    We did measure the depths of the centers, and they appear to be the exact same. We have the car lifted on ramps and jack stands, but also realized that the suspension would be fully extended. We decided to also jack up the rear end to its normal ride height, but to no avail. The driveshaft would...

    Rear-end

    so i have the new center section attached, with the old one removed. The only problem im running into now is that my driveshaft is not aligning with the new center section, even though they appear to be the same length. Any ideas? The driveshaft appears to be about an inch (or less) away from...

    1966 Mustang Suspension Rebuild

    I wish i could go with an IFS or something of the sort, but its out of my budget. if you have a 1" sway bar, i'm definitely interested in it. Is it a front or rear? Also, I definitely want to do the shelby drop to the car. When you've done it, has there been noticeable difference? I figure with...
