Mustang guys want to ditch the Quadra-Bind and get a PHB/TA set up and the F-Car guys want to lose the TA and go to a Quadra-Bind ...

Get a set of aftermarket LCA w/ poly-rod ends or rod ends and relocation brackets to solve your wheel hop issues.

Interesting observation!

Most of us east coast oval track fans are aware of the wicked race machines known as "modifieds". One of the more successful race shop/chassis builders is Troyer Race Cars, and their chassis have been hooking up 700-800 hp on 13" wide tires for YEARS with an LCA, torque arm, panhard bar, coil-over set up....

Thats very true. There are quite a few kits out there for them to do that.

Better? Neither set-up is perfect. They each bring a unique and different set of "issues" that have to be dealt with.

There is no arc of the suspension covenant.

And I guess it did appear that was "mocking" your post. Not the case at all. I had never seen that suspension setup on an F-Car before. And the truth be known, it's a suspension setup loosely ... very loosely designed around the Fox 4 link.

It just struck me as funny because there was a recent, HUGE debate on how superior the TA/PHB was as seen from the Ford camp. When asked if that setup ever wheel hops, over 1/2 asked "What's wheel hop?"
