they are thicker and are designed for a smaller 10” rotor.  To use them, one of the shims tack welded 
into the standard IFS bracket needs to be removed. 
 

Rear 4 link control arms 

 
Upper control and lower control arms stay the same from 1979 to 1998. 
 

Front lower control arms  

Front lower control arms from 1979 to 1993 all have the same dimensions and will work with any FFR 
kit by following the simple modification shown below.  In 1994 the control arms had a similar design, 
though they increased in length by approximately ¾”.  This arm can also be used by following the same 
modifications as the 1979 to 1993 arms.  There are two sets of holes on the Factory Five chassis to 
mount the lower control arms.  The inner holes are for the 1994 to 2004 Control arms, and the outer 
holes are for the 1979 to 1993 arms.  FFR offers a tubular lower control arm powder coated, with 
polyurethane bushings, ball joints, and mounting bolts which are designed to mount in the outer chassis 
mount hole. 
 

Springs 

(MODIFICATION) 

 
Rear springs from 1979 to 2004 will all fit an FFR kit with a slight modification as shown below.  
Below is a chart of every spring rate from 1979 to 2004.  These rates are for un-cut springs.  In all cases 
there are rubber isolation pads between the spring/control arm and spring chassis, which are a required 
donor part for an FFR 4 link stock kit.

Wiring harness 

With all FFR EFI kits, the donor car wiring harnesses can be used.  The 87-95 harness has 5 sections:  
engine, rear, front, dash, and transmission.  In 1990, Air bags were added to the Mustang.  Within the 
harness, this is a separate harness of a few wires that can be separated out easily.  In 1996 Ford 
introduced a Passive Anti Theft System (PATS) which put a transmitter inside the key (see Donor Parts
