well thats what I read also but I have not seen one completed yet in any forum. lot of you cans but nobody completed one yet. Since a/c is completed and running I have put my car on a lift and a 3" bar might be too low for the sway bar on ground clearance. but hey I'll keep reading.

I'll let you know how mine turns out. As I WILL have AC and I WILL have a front sway bar. Just havent gotten that far yet to give you an honest assessment of what it really takes to make it work.

About a year ago I read a post on LS1Tech where a guy used a spacer only on the passenger side to get the clearance he needed. Unable to find it at the moment. He posted pics and it looked like a plausible route to follow.

Yes,.. it has. (Sigh)
No word from Bryan. I am out on the road right now. I will text him and see what he has to say.
This is what I have been dealing with for the last year.

My hands are tied,.. I paid cash in full up front. I am at his mercy to if/when it gets completed. My wife wants me to pull it and take it to another shop.

If/when anything changes I will post updates.

BTW Hursty I think the truck arm suspension will work well on your wife's mustang, I would probably do that as well for a track car but the autocorss courses are very tight and almost all 1-3rd gear, tops. That's the major reason I went with an IRS instead of a truck arm. The TA is going to be much lighter as well, not much more than the crappy stock set up. The IRS weighs (I'm guessing here, but I've lifted a few) maybe 75- 100 pounds heavier than the stock set up.

Still not finished. He never calls or contacts me.

I gave him till 1st week in June. I have another shop (A real shop this time) lined up to finish my car if he doesnt finish it by then.

My wife's lawyer will then proceed to procure a judgement to collect any tax returns in order to get our money back.

He has time to roam the streets and party it up, but cant finish my car. I have things set in motion to prove that he was/is perfectly capable of finishing my car if it ever goes to court. I have witnesses and video of him taken by several people who know my situation. Not to mention endless promises in emails and text messages from him personally. karma always circles back around.

Plan is to go with the MM 3-link for now, but I am curious about possibly doing an irs. Just not too thrilled with the width of the IRS back there. I like having 10.5 wheels in the back for daily driver duty and for the shows.

It's a fox, right? Then yes you'll need some substantial flares to use the IRS, (see my buildup)

Yeah, 93 GT. And I have no intention of ever cutting or flaring any of the fenders or 1/4 panels. I'll do mini-tubs and narrow the rear before I'd ever alter the body like that.

This is more of a fun car. A weekend toy that can be daily driven. Will have heat and working AC. Will be a 'heavy' car by road course standards. My goal is to balance out the car. Cutting down on whats not needed while still retaining 'most' creature comforts.

I keep hoping to see someone make some fox specific spindles or a-arms to narrow down the IRS for a Fox specific application.
