after i get my exhaust system put in, the next step is prep the car for a bigger better motor. The end goal for this car is to be a great street car first, but a definite good track car second. (road racing). Any tips on the rear suspension? I want my fox body to handle like my 12 did (or better). thanks.

Coil over conversion is what I would go after....but that might be some fab work and $$$

OG when you are ready let me know. I warn you, you will hate me for the rabbit hole I will make you fall down, but it will be worth it once you are out of debt.

Max Motorsport what?....

Hate to say it, but if you're really wanting a good road course car, put an IRS in it. Live axles can be made to handle damn good (just see the Griggs and MM comments above), but a built IRS bring a new level of sophistication to things. Plus, except for a very small amount of fab work, it's damn near a bolt in. Use the '03 to '04 version if possible, much stronger to begin with.

thats a good idea. but i will be taking this to the drag strip as well. it will be dual purpose. I think an IRS swap would be cool down the line.

Subscribed. Needing to do something with my 85.

Had an IRS Mustang and a Griggs. The Griggs launches harder and turns quicker and easier. Also if the Griggs starts a light drift it's easy as a video game to straighten out. IRS may be better in theory, but not designed by Ford...

Griggs/MM. Can't go wrong either way.

agreed. Griggs is the Ferrari of the suspension world, MM is the Corvette. They both do pretty much the same thing, just the MM stuff is about half the price.

Damn Griggs is expensive. If I was going to build an all out road race car I could see spending that much but not for a weekend toy. That may or may not ever see the track. Even if I was going to go to the track a few times a year I couldn't justify that price.

Next on my list is a bump steer kit and caster camber plates.
