Nothing like a little overkill!

I have run a few of the Fox body Mustangs and when I jacked up the SA I saw that the rear suspension setup was almost identical to the crappy Mustang rear. I knew then that the rear suspension was a high priority item.

I've spent too much time in the ditch because of that type of suspension setup. In Mazda's defense at least they did add the Watts link, even if it's not the best setup I've ever seen, unlike Ford.
