What works in a street car (foxbody) with "stock" suspension ? I had a friend with upr lowers and kept tearing bushings, but spearicals I am sure ride like ass sooooo..... I am thinkng stock uppers (maybe box them with a plate) and lowers with one spearical and one bushing. Not sure if I need a adjustable (I am thinking I didn't)
For the record it is a 450-500rwhp 80 fairmont that will be street driven allot drag raced a fair amount

But you should think about re-enforcing the torque boxes because they will fail and then you'll have a mess on your hands. The spherical rods ends don't give and they will be noisy on the street or track.. At least with urethane it will give and not beat the car up so bad... Regardless of what you put under it, re-enforce the torque boxes, it will only cost about 60 bucks and it's a bolt in, or you can weld them in..
