Torque Boxes Reply #15 – April 30, 2007, 04:57:53 AM Thanks for the input. Going to try it with the ride control struts first. It's very drivable on the street in the firm position and no front swaybar. In soft it's very bouncy but may launch well. Quote Selected
Torque Boxes Reply #16 – June 25, 2007, 01:48:15 PM Quote from: 5.8fastcat;143614You will need a drag type strut up frt with like a 90/10 to help hold the frt end up, as to keep from unloading the tire after the 60 ft mark.I got sent a set of 90/10's by accident and I was wondering what sort of effect they have on normal street driving as they come with all sorts of safety warnings on them. I was actually supposed to get the 50/50's for the rear - I wonder which would give the biggest bang for the buck considering I accidentally got the expensive struts while paying for the shocks.Also, I am just going to make a pair of torque box reinforcements since the Mustang one's clearly aren't right. What gauge metal should I use? I was just given a brake/shear combo at work so the job should be simple enough. Also, how do people deal with the large protruding oval at the top where the top of the reinforcement is bolted to? Should I just bash it flat with a sledge and a piece of pipe? Quote Selected
Torque Boxes Reply #17 – June 25, 2007, 04:11:29 PM I didn't know about safety warnings, but 90/10's would ride like on the street. They have a super stiff bound and super soft rebound. Quote Selected

Torque Boxes Reply #21 – August 19, 2007, 10:48:29 PM Still looking for advice on metal gauge for torque box reinforcements and/or someone who has the name of a vendor who's reinforcements are long enough to cover the hole on a T-Bird/Cougar. Quote Selected

I wonder if that plate would fit on a Fox Cougar? Quote Selected

Torque Boxes Reply #26 – August 20, 2007, 07:58:11 PM Those plates will fit your cougar, as they fit my TC just fine. Also, even before you weld in reinforcements, you should weld the seams. I'm using them with the wild rides boxes, and everything is okay so far. Quote Selected
