Re: Air Bag?
 
I think i and going to try air bags on both sides running more pressure on the right side. Cheap fix at under $100,
I noticed in the video that the T-bird did not drop in the rear at all. Doesn't a T-bird use the same set up as a mustang in the rear?

Same as a T-bird 78 to 88 I believe. My car didn’t squat much until I softened the compression on the shocks.

Been experimenting with tire psi. Dead hooking kills the clutch so I had the tire up to 30. Didn’t get the tires clean on that run.
Always something!

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, guys who raced coil spring rear suspension cars (I'm thinking about 60s Chevelles) just installed an Air Lift airbag in the right side spring, inflated it to the minimum psi required to kill the roll rotation and all was right with the world. Worked like a charm, was way cheap and didn't have any real effect on anything but the problem.

In my 1969 Impala Stocker.
Used Airbags and glued a piece of 2by4 on axle housing.
On launch it hit the pinion snubber.
