Re: 4 link rear end set-up

[farna@xxxxxxx]

I think the same! The only thing you'd really need to do is "adjust" for the width of the rear suspension rails. The front upper link mount is made onto the coil over shock crossmember and has a pad that bolts to the floor of the car. There might be some clearance issues there, but I don't think so -- the floor of a Mustang (or any rear drive car with a live/solid axle) isn't that much different than a Javelin. The only real ocncern might be the amount of arch in the rails -- Javelin may arch more than Mustang, meaning the ride height would be to low. The website already says ride height is lowered by two inches. Wouldn't be hard to make different rail mounts on the ends of the crossmember to make it taller though -- maybe mount the tubular crossmember sit on instead of between the rails. That would gain back the lost height as well, but might require a spacer betwen the floor and front mount. It's a good solution for those who want a better rear suspension but don't need th!
 e drop in ride height.
