Which rear suspension package?

[blue00gt]

Drudis,

I am getting ready to buy the rest of the supension for my '00 GT and I am having a hard time deciding whether to go with a heavy-duty torque arm and panhard bar type rear setup from Griggs or Maximum Motorsports, or whether to get the Steeda 5-link. Other than the added cost of getting a side exhaust to go with the 5-link to maintain smog legality in CA (doesn't work with tailpipes and turndowns are not legal here), it looks like they cost about the same. Have you seen or had any experience with cars with the 5-link setup? I am leaning somewhat towards the 5-link because it has a bit more ground clearance and the roads around where I live are pretty bad, but I've only ever seen T/A & panhard suspended stangs run before and am not sure of the performance and difficulty to setup of the Steeda kit.

Thanks,

Kevin
