Re: Manual trans only in 83 Mustang?
 

Yeah, You can use tubular upper and lower rear control arms. The upper can be adjustable but not the lowers.

Southsides stretched 3/8 inch ( IIRC)
Plus I did not want the rear end jacked up in the back so I lowered the spring perches.
As posted above, the lowers have to be fixed length

This is what happens when you use 79-98 Mustang lowers on a 83-88 T-Bird/Cougar.
It moves the rear end forward and looks horrible... not to mention makes the factory wheelbase barely legal (if legal at all) in Stock

Cool beans. When I ran Stock I boxed the lower arms and made my own upper adjustable arms. Just wanted to make sure nothing had changed. Thanks guys!
