Take a look in Grassroots Motorsports this month, with How To Go Racing on the cover. There is a feature on a Mustang in there that is running a full Griggs suspension. Look at the Mudstain's Watts link, and then look at this guys Griggs panhard setup. Will almost make you shudder looking at the differences in weight, size, and connection points, read potential failure points!!
Just saying, nothing wrong with experimenting, but if you are trying for somewhat all out grip, it is still a street car. Spending a lot of time fighting for negligible improvements, when you still have mismatched tire sizes, not best for all out grip to neutralize at both ends, still a lot of weight being a street car, still full interior. Jst seems, for all the time, money, effort, etc. not worth the result of someone who did the "normal" , and still has a faster time or whatever. And yes, I am aware of why some people size different front and rear, but people smoke crack, and I don't agree with that either. Understeer is safe, oversteer is fun.

This car is far from a street car. It's totally stripped. It'll be a race car that is street legal thanks to my states laws...
