hmm, well i have a four link rear, no panhard (or rather, had. i put it in
the backyard yesterday). the rear roll center has got to be way higher than
the front with this setup. there is considerably more anti-squat than the
mustang, perhaps needed in the short wheelbase?
> I dunno how adjustable your car is suspension geometry-wise,
well, i pulled out the live axle and am installing an independent rear for
the next event. so pretty much anything is possible geometry-wise. its
just a matter of WHAT.
i will need the sway bars, as there is hella roll without them due to the
lowered roll center in the rear. (i think i will end up being about 4", and
4.5" in the front)
