You are right. That is one serious Fairlane. I really like it!

cool project. I like heidts but not a fan of the MII. their 4link looks good tho.

i built my own front suspension because I didnt like anything on the market. That is the reason I am building my own 3link as well.

Its not a Mustang II front end. Its our Superide II which is quite different. Better geometry, handling, and just built better. Its a true coil over front end. :thumbsup:

Thank you for correcting me.

Out of curiousity, what spindles? Can you share any details. Like camber gain and roll center at a given ride height? How much travel does your set up have?

my 1966 Fairlane w/ PT goodies

first of all Libby's Fairlane & the Fairlane from GG 2007 (?) are awesome, but they're highly custom. if you're sticking with mostly bolt-on stuff, you might get more out of:

I have a TCP R&P. I ordered for a 67 BB mustang and gave the shop the info at:

http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/index_fairlane.html

Although it was $$$, I've been very happy w/ it. I did not get the TCP coilover -- I sort of regret that (I got GW UCAs instead).

I need to take new pics -- I've got a much better stance now. Unless you mini-tub, 18X10 is *not* going to fit. Take a look at:

Guys running big combos on 66/67s have their cars jacked up to clear. There is surprisingly little room in the front or rear of 66/67 fairlanes for big wheels/tires (clearance increases somewhat when you go to 68/69, then 70/71). If you liked the lowered look, you'll need to go small or do some serious work.

Good luck.

Edit: Check out Brian's Fairlane, nicely in between PT & old school:

Also, search for Jason's info at:

http://www.woodyg.com/fairlane/twdata/twdata66.html

he got a 275 rear on 17x9.5, but worked hard to do it; he recommends doing 255 (which is what Brian & I both have).
