Here are some quick shots of Mark Plattner's Whipple 2008 Mustang GT.

Mods just complete:

Whipple HO kit at 10psi
Autometer Nexus gauges
FRPP chrome valve covers
aluminum intercooler tank

I'll get some exterior shots as soon as the weather gets better. The car has a whopping 80 miles on it so far. It's a auto and made 427 rwhp / 387 rwtq

Yes, a Watts link with some adjustability would fix the alignment issue along with giving you the ability to change the handling the balance of the car.
The one you linked doesn't appear to have any adjustment so I wouldn't recommend that one but there are others out there we can look into if that is the way you want to go.
Let me know

The adjustable panhard bar would be the basic simple solution to fix the issue. However, the watts system would be an upgrade for the solution and give you options in the future.
Greg talked to Steeda when they were in Bradenton and had a chance to see the new watts system they are making and was very impressed. I went ahead and called my contact at Steeda and could get you the first one released :headbang: if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks.

i just read your post , and i guess you posted this after we talked about the edelbrock panhard, and if you guys think that the watts is the best way to go i say lets do it. i will call in the morning .

I am glad that you like it. :banghead2 How are those massive front brakes? Did you do something to the headlights and foglights or were they like that when it was down here??

the brakes work great, as far as the headlights i changed the lights at the house when i got home , right before i took the pic . I also had a few other things in the garage waiting for the car when i got it home.
