The Whooole Rear End

Hey again,

Just got the good news that I'll most likely be getting my summer job back so it's time to decide on the next round of parts! I have done a good amount of suspension work (see sig), but am ready to finish it off. The car will be my daily for another year or so but is still hardly ever driven. Once I finish school, the car will be torn to pieces and have some serious motor and transmission work done. My long term goal is a car that puts down ~600RWHP (most likely turbo) and handles like an F1 car. I know Mustangs aren't the best platform for this goal, but it's what I've wanted for years. With that being said, I've made a rear end to-do list I'd like for y'all to critique. I have a basic idea of what's needed, but haven't picked specific parts/brands.

1) Differential - recommendations?
2) 31 Spline axles/carriers - Moser?
3) New 3.55s or 3.73s
4) ARP wheel studs (have waiting)
5) Lower control arms - prob MM, delrin or urethane?
6) Coil overs - length and rate?
7) Watts link (maybe panhard. Paired with torque arm?)
8) Welded torque boxes - Definitely need help here. Just worry about the bottom or pull carpet and do top as well?
9) Upper shock brace


Originally wanted to go IRS, but found out SRAs can hold their own and I also want this car to be as light as possible. Anyway, let me know what y'all think!


Something about a microwave with wifi and Tapatalk.
