I have nothing but MM for suspension, except for the K member and front lowers which is QA1 because HP Performance said I had to use them. Had to modify one side of the rear control arm nuts to install them. If you have any specific questions about their products I have: Font coilovers & springs, black caster/camber plates, bumpsteer kit, full length subframe connectors, weld-in anti-roll bar and XD adjustable lowers. Everything they make is top notch and falls right in for installation.
And I have a never installed, MM HD torque arm & panard bar (non polished) with MM sport springs. PM me if you're interested |

Well I guess we know how Joey feels about UPR lol |
You will remove the upper control arms & quad shocks with installation of the torque arm and panard bar. Will have to run a panard bar with the torque arm or there will be nothing to control movement of the axle from side to side. |

| correct scott, a PHB by itself does not eliminate the need for UCA's. only a TA does that. the 4 link suspension that is stock on mustangs was designed in the 70's and hasnt changed on bit since then. (aside from IRS equipped cobras). UCA's are not a 'bad' setup, just not the best one for a car this day in age. If your going to change UCA's at least get some adjustable ones so you can adjust pinion angle if need be. other than that, thers no real reason to get aftermarket UCA's unless you just come across a hell of a deal on some. |

You can remove one UCA with just a panard bar without installing a torque arm but you can't run a torque arm without a panard bar, no way of centering the axle.
In '05, Ford switched from the 4 link to a 3 link system by the way.
