Productively speaking about Mustang suspensions

[FETorino]

On a previous thread that degraded it was mentioned that there were only three options for an early Mustang front suspension. That is far from true. In addition to the weld in Mustang II, TCP or Global West coilovers or crappy stock I think they called it there are several other options. Griggs racing for one makes a complete fron GR350 kit for early Mustangs with race breed geometry. Also RRS makes a Macphearson strut coilover conversion complete with spindles and brakes, Ron Morris makes his own verion of the coilover front suspension similar to TCP and Global West but different. There is also FatMans MC Strut using late model Mustang SN95 front end parts. There are a few others out there also and not all based on the same basic design but starting from completely different places. I've rode in a well prepped "stock style" suspended car with the basic shelby mod and solid bushings and it definately got the job done around the corners just look at some of the cars racing the vintage circuit. I'm running an RRS kit in my Torino and so far my impression is it delivers a very compliant ride along with good trun in, tracking and no noticable bump steer. Some upcomming track time will point out the limitations of my 3800lb car and strut front end but as a street car it's working pretty well. So for the Mustang crowd there are options you just need to look around a bit.
