No, sorry it will not. When Speedtech commissioned me to do this project ... we discussed using some existing parts ... but it would have limited what this new package is capable of. So we agreed to start from a clean sheet of paper and build the best geometry, best steering, highest grip front suspension available to the Pro-Touring community. I even modified the spindle.

Everything is optimum ... from the low scrub radius, ackerman, roll center locations, camber gain, caster capability, caster gain, jacking effect, anti-dive, etc, etc, etc. This thing is spot on. The front end grip will be the best you can bolt on your car. To get better, we'd have to shove your engine back 6-8" under the firewall & build a long arm GT race car front suspension.

But the new Speedtech stuff will drive excellent on the street
, have great manners around town, be tough enough for city streets & with the right shocks be a smooth riding cruiser. Until you turn the knobs & adjust the sway bar links. Then it will be a mean handling autocross & road course machine.
