4.6 T bird;  The air ride came from AirRide Techonolgy. The kit was designed for a SN95 Style strang. I had to modify the caster chamber plates.  The reat fit pretty well.

  The kit was $2300 with E ride and the frt air struts. You can get air bags for the frt and it makes it consdible cheaper.

Thanks Guys

Greg what is the point of the "red thing"?  Does it allow the use of mustang uppers?  Is that for better geometry?

CougarSE; The red upper relocate the upper arms giving the ctr arms more leverage on the reaend to plant the tires better, also changes the instant center off the car keeping it from hitting the tire hard and then unloading the tires.  ??????  Time will tell if it will work well on the Cougar.

Vinnie; The tailpipes are for a Stang, they are 2 1/2 in Mandrel bent.
 They were straight out and I added the turn downs.

Not sure if you saw this in another post - but these 2 1/2" tailpipes http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=FLO%2D15814&N=700+0&autoview=sku + these 13" long tips http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=FLO%2D15362&N=700+0&autoview=sku seem to do the trick.



Just an option...sorry for the hijack...
