A lot of groupies, clicks in car biz and racing. Go to a show where the DSE mustang is. Go for a ride, see the parts on a car, see what works around their parts. Tire sizes, stances, plumbing under hood, etc, etc.

Point is, put your eyeballs on it, your butt in it, and YOUR brain and gut will spit out the answer.

EXACTLY.....Went for one ride with Kyle and visited the DSE shop and was hooked! Nothing but top quality construction, fabrication, and employee professionalism..

Car being picked up at Daytona turkey Rod Run for an overhaul by DSE!

Hakeem... Do you get to the states at all?? I realize there's probably not a lot of Modified mustangs running around where you are (don't know where that is). So the advice to ride/drive/see these parts is kind of a mute point. Shopping via the internet forums will be difficult at best.

I own a '65 Mustang track car (no street duty)... and have some of the Chris Alston parts on the car. I also have some very custom suspension parts that are just for racing. I have some of the Mike Maier racing suspension on the rear of the car - but also have some parts from others in addition to the Maier track bar etc.

How a car performs overall is more than just buying parts and throwing them at the car hoping they'll all work some magic. The FRONT working WITH the REAR is pretty important. Things like spring rates - shock choice - sway bar size - track bar settings all must work together to get you something you'll enjoy driving and will suit your intended purpose.

I know you're just starting this journey. Please do a LOT of research and make an actual PLAN before you begin buying parts. I would treat the car as a WHOLE -- front and rear -- motor and trans -- brakes - tire and wheel size etc and get the whole "job" on paper before you begin. A tire and wheel that will fit one manufacturers suspension might not fit with someone else's. Being so far away from the source.... and from knowledgable help/information will be a huge disadvantage for you, and it's hard enough to build these things right here in the U.S. and get them right.

You might want to spend a little bit extra up front and engage a professional shop or build service that has years of experience with the kind of car you wish to build... and use them to guide you thru the build and parts choices. They might even have built a car so similar to what you want that you could copy it.

Perhaps some on this site might have some suggestions on what shops they've used that might be useful to you. Use them as a "consultant" on your project. There's so many parts to consider when doing a build like this - headers - and your motor choice - will they fit without interference... and on and on. Will you be capable of modifying the firewall or transmission tunnel if needed? Is there a shop near you that can if you can't and so on.

There are a number of fantastic shops that participate on this forum that may be willing to help you get where you're going and that - for a fee - might be able to test fit parts before they're shipped to you etc.

I don't know any of this for sure -- I'm just offering some ideas that might help with your situation.

We have a Mustang-build waiting. Dynacorn '69 fastback and we got all DSE goodies.
Aluma- frame to front and quadra link to rear.

We have a little different engine, tuned Super Snake 850 hp motor, it use to have a builded 4L70r behind it with simpleshift pcm. It just be in a Ford F-150 Truck. That trans had upgrade masterkit in it but still we had to repair it 8 times before we got the owner to stop using it. It was build in US. I dont remember the specs.

No matter what master kit to use, the mechanically it was too small and weak.

Ofcourse it will depense what kind of use and power it will get. For that, how long it will live.

Now we have got an custom build t-56 magnum from American Powertrain, 1000hp/1000lbs specs.

Hello Hakeem, welcome to the forum!

My information will be a little bit biased, of course, but I'll try to keep it as simple as possible.

Chassisworks has several different routes you can take with your Mustang build. If you want primarily a bolt-on style suspension with minimal modification to the existing structure, you need look no further than our Total Control Products line. TCP is a local brand that we brought in house several years ago. We updated some of the designs and applied our superior manufacturing techniques to create a product that is extremely adjustable reliable. Today there are more early Mustangs racing on, and winning with, our suspension than any other.



On the Chassisworks side, there have been many Mustangs that have installed our Street Machine A-Arm Crossmember and paired it with our canted 4-bar backhalf. Information on both is available in our Custom Fit Chassis guide HERE.

Then there is our top of the line system. The gStreet Ultimate Pro-Touring Chassis. This elite system incorporates all of the latest manufacturing technology and suspension theory. There are many Camaros being built with this system (we're taking one to SEMA this year) and the production version of the Mustang is in final stages right now. If you chose to go this route, we would suggest you ship the car to us and have it installed here at our California factory.
