Are solid axles dead?

[another69]

Norm- you bring up some good points about tire stagger. I wonder if some people run wider tires in back to deal with putting down the power. It is just hard to run really wide tires in the front of some of these older cars. It seems even harder to have neutral handling. Your Mustang has a 3 link, right? How do you like it?

I'm glad to see so much positive feedback about solid axles. I guess solid axles are still alive, but leafs are dying.



BMR- I saw your kit at a performance expo installed on a firebird (I think) that was propped on its side. I was really impressed and decided shortly after that was the way I wanted to go. I really like the way the upward force of the pinion is transferred to one of the strongest parts of the car- the subframe. I originally was going to get a HRTH truck arm. I would, however want to keep my 9" rear. Would you offer a kit for the 9" that uses the leaf spring mounts that I already have or do I need to cut them off?
