    Are you still using the stock rear suspension parts? The best thing for Mustangs is to upgrade to the Steeda 5-Link or equivalent. To the letter of the rule, you must leave the upper arms in place. Bushing material is open, so some soft foam will render them useless. The traction bars take their place and all is in harmony

    From there I would reccomend using lower spring rate up front and see what happens. If your ride height is too low you end up with the front roll center too low which makes things worse.

    I have stock suspension with the exception of a pan-hard bar. The 5 link is on the list. It's a money thing.

    What length are the springs? My first Mustang had 10" front and rear.

    A question to any one who has "deactivated" the rear upper arms:

    Without the binding of the rear upperarm bushings, what spring rates did you get to use front and back?

    Especially, the back?
