Why the Mustang 2 Suspension is so popular.

Why is the Mustang 2 IFS so popular? It doesnt look that good. It definately does work that good as far a geometry (have you ever driven a Mustang 2?) Why use one of Fords cheapest cars ever as a donor car so to speak (inludes aftermarket Must 2 IFS) for your high dollar street rod or hot rod now days when we have so much better suspension knowledge than back when the mustang 2 was designed. Well here is why its so popular still today.....Back in the 70's and 80's, most hot rodders were searching for something better. Better back then meant that it could be made to fit and would drive down the road better than a drop axle or older geometry ifs. I have driven cars with Must 2 than actually drove worse than a drop axle. Hey they could be hacked out of the old small fords and with a little modification could be installed into about anything and wow we have ifs in our 32 ford. It was pretty cheap and realatively easy and then a few aftermarket guys that we will not mention said hey if we make a "kit" based on this Mustang 2 stuff it will sell like wild fire nd guess what, they were right. The only the thing is that was back in the 70's and 80's and here we are in 2008 and they are still producing the same old stuff they did back then. Its time to update from old technology dont you think? Just because it fits doesnt mean its good! What do you think?
