With the quality MII suspension kits, tubular arms, coilovers, anti-dive, etc. it is much more then a glorified Pinto. I've been selling, installing, and driving these MII suspension packages for about 20 years. The good kits vastly improve the handling of a Hot Rod. I've driven in excess of twice the legal speed limit on the Interstate with them. When done correctly and not as some slip shod conglomeration of left over stamped arms and worn out parts from the junkyard they work great. As with anything you put on your car, you get what you pay for.
