Even a 3 or 4 link with a Wishbone or Watts linkage would bind if the 3-4 links had bushings instead of rod ends. Assuming we are talking about "handling" and not drag racing, in roll, spherical bearings would increase bind, leading to "snap oversteer", when the spring rate rises extremely fast as system binds. The fact the fox body is a tin can, it works until it rips apart, and the reason there must be some compliance in the design, dual durometer bushings, flexible upper arms in twist, etc. The arms are all? swinging thru different competing arcs, causing the bind. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of Moparts members who run that kit but that doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of kits sold. Now I have to crawl under my car and figure out which is the part that you make....thanks! A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel

I have only driven it 70 miles and decided to rewire it(another story) I liked the ride. I did NOT build the car to race so that level of performance is beyond what I am knowledgeable enough to comment. I like the idea of the independent shocks and the adjust ability of stiffness and ride ht, you don't get that with a stock leaf spring suspension.

That is not true. You can adjust the stock leaf's stiffness and ride height. It's not as obvious as a coil over setup, nor as complicated as one either. BTW, collapsing a coil spring doesn't change it's rate unless it's a variable rate coil, in which case you just defeated the variable part. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

It is nice that with the coil overs you can change the ride height of the car a couple of inches in a few minutes as well as change the stiffness, for a daily driver it's great to be able to change it quickly.

How is turning a knob (valve) or turning the ht adjustment screw on a QA-1 MORE complicated than anything you would have to do with leaf springs? Driving modern convenience in classic beauty

I like to race the car every once in a while but its never gonna be a "race car". I really need to shorten the rear end to get more rubber under it and I was thinking at the same time changing the suspension. I have the kit to move the springs in but when I do that I want to mini tub it. So much to do, so little time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J3K94cRC1c
