Looks smooth on the launch pics. What's done to the suspension? and is a 29.5X10.5?

Air suspension replaced with 14in. coil springs with 175# rate.Stock shocks replaced with Strange single adjustable Mustang shocks.Cut 1in off bump stop.Poly bushings on Metco control arms split due to hard launches so they made a set of bushings made of Delrin.Front lowered 1 1/2in.
Tires are Hoosier 29x9-15 with a D-07 compound.

Crazy what "stock suspension" panthers have. Their mounting points are made for drag racing.
